Check out http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=208606415&listingid=33565572&dcaid=17902 I'm assuming something with a thinner point would work on Windows 7, since it's built to accept stylus input.

Probably vectoring though. I am still waiting for the 7-9 inch slate you can write on. Hoping the tabletkiosk i7300 with dual mode will be out soon and not too highly priced.

If you can't then I can understand why they're limited to toys. Can you ink on capacitive screens? If you can’t then I can understand why they’re limited to toys.

"Light touch" doesn't sound like what I'd want in a UMPC, anymore than I'd want, like the Nokia E97, resistive on a phone.
