not new, but only few people seem to know of this useful device:
filling the gap between a classic notebook and a tabletpc. the pen movement recognition is amazingly accurate and reliable (i’ve seen a demonstration a while ago).
unfortunately, i don’t know where to buy it (preferably in switzerland). anybody?
[update: it’s available at conrad.ch]
Does it work with Linux? I haven’t found anything on Google. Would be great.
i don’t know whether it works with linux. i will try to make it work with linux, but to me, it looks rather proprietary :/ it’s usb based however. might be worth trying to reverse-engineer ;)
today i just got mine from pascal. unfortunately we found it didn’t even work with winxp on my notebook, but this might have to do with run-down pen batteries ;) tomorrow i’ll check it again using new batteries. tbc..
btw. it was the batteries :) now it works nicely (see pm) ..though only with windows so far :/
