I'm a heavy user of Captivate and Camtasia and I teach math. I need digital ink for my classes. It allows me to markup graphs and all other documents. I would be a user of this tablet. I think the greatest shortcoming of the iPad is the lack of digital ink and native pen support. Also, screen recording apps.
From the promo videos it seems that this device is targeting vertical markets.

She's also a teacher of math and physics and she was excited to get an iPad until she found out she couldn't use a stylus to mark with. if this tablet fulfills that need then this may be the tablet for her.
- glhaynes 16y agoThere are some very nice feeling styluses (and some that aren't nice feeling at all, too) that work on iPad - this one from Griffin is by far my favorite from the ones I've tried. http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/stylus http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/stylus
- yequalsx 16y agoThe problem though is that a stylus is not enough by itself. What is needed is the concept of digital ink. With my tablet PC I can markup any object that can be printed.
- chollida1 16y agoI didn't know this, thank you:) The use case my wife has is she wants to mark math homework, similarly to how you would mark it on paper, ie arbitrary pen input anywhere. Does the iPad allow for this? or is there any app that does this?

- glhaynes 16y agoWhat format would the homework documents be in? I know I've seen several apps that let you annotate PDFs with "ink", but I haven't personally used any.
