Will the keyboard kill the Tablet PC?

Keyboard kills Tablet PC small.gifPeter wonders if the keyboard is going to kill the Tablet PC.

Yeah, the keyboard is faster for entering text, but try entering equations or drawing a graph with a keyboard.

There are lots of applications that need to be written to showcase the value of ink. We're just beginning to scratch the surface. (Ugh, bad joke, I know.)

I'm not so sure that even better ink recognition is going to be the answer--although it well may be to many people. I still think we need apps that make our handwritten notes simply look better or easier to reuse or convert into usable business documents. Creating the notes is only a first step for many people.
