Anyone have any "fingers-on" experience with this stuff. I wanted to buy a hp tc1100 until I found that you need a special stylus to get it to work at all. And I remember that most touchscreens have a wicked film that rather distorts the screen.
Tweeks,
I am SOOOO tempted to buy that $99 that Matt is springing for, but have you actually used/touched that model?
VERY anxious to hear about your results, Matt... wonder if you'll get it in time for the next meeting... hmmmmmmm
