Not really. If you have a spare tablet lying around, I suggest you install a trial version of PenOffice and Evernote. That should give you an idea of what Evernote can do.

I think that the key word in the original article is "thin". Isn't this a patented Mac word? I think he is setting us up for an Apple tablet that he has heard about. Maybe it's paranoia, but who sits around daydreaming about something really thin? Someone really thin maybe, but not something. It was Steve Jobs with that thin Mac who tried to parlay thinness into something significant.

I like the idea. I doubt I'll buy one however; the "iPhone-like keyboard" got me right off it. Do people even realize how much screen real estate gets sacrificed for a usable onscreen keyboard? PenOffice HWR takes away exactly zero percent of the screen (well, that's not true; the ink of your writing does obscure a few pixels temporarily).
