  urlLink Sony phasing out pen-tablet PCs - Tech News - CNET.com "The demise of the Pen Tablet line underscores the difficulty that manufacturers face in trying to bring new technologies to market. It also in some ways highlights some of the challenges awaiting the Tablet PC, a portable PC with a touch screen coming in the second half of 2002 from Compaq Computer and others. " I have never used this product, but if all you could do was use the pen on your desktop then I am not surprised it failed. You need to pick it up, set it on your lap, sit on your couch, and move around wirelessly to use a pen-based system sucessfully. I don't think this moinitor is wireless, but I am not sure. Also missing is Microsoft's "special version of XP" for a Tablet PC due out within the year. I am looking forward to the Tablet PC and pen computing.
