I don't buy this article. I'm sitting on my tablet writing this. Handwriting recognition in Windows, in my experience, is anything /but/ mediocre: in fact it's really quite fantastic in Win7. It's the only reason I don't run Linux exclusively on this machine, the tablet support is just phenomenal.
The killer app is definitely OneNote. I /yearn/ for something in Linux that does everything OneNote does, but as of yet I'm disappointed. Full text searching of handwritten notes and handwriting to text conversion both work beautifully.
Why have tablets flopped? The concept just doesn't fit the way some people work. My school did a study (that I was a participant in) on tablet use, and gave a group of 20 students a tablet (Lenovo X60t, at the time) to use for an academic year. Probably half the group just stopped using the tablet aspect of the device, saying they just prefer working on paper. Some people just like organizing their work in notebooks and paper.
Also, the Lenovo X61t (what I have now) is built great. Lots of thought put into this device, and it's solid.
