These devices were used a fair bit when I was in secondary school here in the UK during the mid-to-late '00s. They were primarily available for pupils with special needs, however they were also used by those who had injured their arms and found it difficult to write.
I hadn't realised they had since been discontinued, though I suspect the increasing affordability of laptops may have played a part.

Light, lasted months on a set of batteries, and mimicked a USB keyboard - cost me twenty quid off ebay. I left mine in a drawer when I left sometime in 2007. We had class sets of the newer Neo version shown here for SLDD students. I'm imagining tablets with onscreen keyboards and cheaper laptops have seen them off.
