fabiennemaurer.com — Why wait for Apple! Have a PowerBook and a Wacom? Make a tablet! This guy does a good job at putting those two things together and making his own tablet. "The build took nearly 2 full days resulting in a functional tablet mac."

Would love to do this to my Imac, take off the base and turn it into a tablet. With a 20" screen though and an 8" tablet the range would be a huge problem. I'll wait for a 20" tablet to come out or for someone else to figure this out.

Yup, this is great. Wacom is more sensitive, but alternatively you could install OSX86 on a tablet PC. The cheap ones go for about $450 on Ebay nowadays.

But troll touch dosent have tilt sensitivity, pressur sensitivity, multiple pens as multiple tools, built in erasers, right clik and left click buttons in the pens ect. Wacom is for artists, troll touch is for kiosks, but cool none the less.
