As a new owner of the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer, I would add that even the addition
of a physical keyboard might not provide a viable answer to this issue. In the case of
the Transformer (TF), I find that there is a lag in the display of what is typed that is a
real distraction, also the touchpad on the keyboard interferes with my typing.

One of the "attractions" of the larger tablets, from the human interface point of view,
is the use of the multi-touch fingerpaint GUI. Personally I think the addition of a stylus
for highlighting and precise selection would be a great idea. The addition of the input
functions mentioned earlier would only make it better.

( I seem to remember running across a piece about how to make your own capacitance
stylus using a bit of foam. I'm thinking it was the foam that CPUs are sometimes shipped
with the CPU stuck in the foam.)
