The Asus Eee Tablet looks very tempting : reflective, black and white LCD screen (ie. usable out-of-doors), cheap, longish battery-life, pen-input, Linux.

Big question : is it possible to write apps. for it?

Plastic Logic Reader ... very nice.

Roll on the Beer Mat Computer.

LiveScribe at JavaOne

Another digital pen

Johnny Chung Lee is GOD!

Yeah! Livescribe looks great! I really hope this isn't going to be vapour-ware.

(hat-tip Kaunda)

Update : reading more about this, it's very much what I want. Way more than a Kindle, or iPhone or some kind of sub-laptop. I'd like to see how good the pattern recognition is, in practice, of course, but I'd be willing write Java(!) to play around with this.

Update 2: But I'm a bit confused ... how exactly is it different from a FLY Pentop? Just marketed at a different age group?

Update 3 : OK, so the difference seems to be the LiveScribe is slimmer, and has some cool applications for recording synchronized sound and writing.
