"BS. A tablet without an active digitizer is useless, no matter what."That's absolutely not true."If you don't believe me, try taking notes with that etch-a-sketch program for the iPhone."That assumes it's intended to be used to take notes. *You* might think a tablet you can't draw on is useless, but it's up to Apple to decide who the device it targeted at.This nonsense about the stylus is just, "less space than a nomad, no wireless, lame" redux. Apple likes to do things better, not simply how they're currently done. If they can solve the stylus problem, they will. If they can't, they'll either target it at non-stylus markets, or use a stylus. However it works out, there are two things that are *absolutely* certain:1. Apple's going to try to make one *without* a stylus.2. If anyone can do it, it's Apple.

Ah, what would digg be without the typical Mac user insults. Everyone who doesnt like a Mac either works for Microsoft or can't afford one, right?

Looks like what you need is a large iphone not a tablet at all.

Of course it's real, they purchase touch screens at the same place ))
