This is simply not always the case. My first A4 sized tablet from Trust, while having an active digitizer, did not include tilt or orientation. Pressure, yes. The stylus on my tablet PC, while made by Wacom, did not include tilt or orientation. Pressure was messured through the screen, not the stylus. It had one pen with a tip, another that was almost the same as the type Nokia use. Only my current Wacom has tilt and orientation.

And again, I would not have bought either except to draw.

Now, that is interesting. But I'd still prefer to put it safely into the chassis during transport, like with my tablet PC and with my maemo devices. For my tablet PC I always use the smaller in-slot stylus and NEVER the bigger, better stylus that goes in the PC bag. In real estate they would explain this with "Location, Location, Location".
