I'm just talking about the mark-up. The input of the edits would still be on a computer. It wouldn't require any refreshing at all, apart from page turns. It would just be a lot better for collaboration, and also for making sure editors catch as much as we can. Computers suck for both of those things, and LCD tablets suck for the latter.

It wouldn't be a full tablet at all. All I'd want it to do is let me write on text docs. It could easily sell for a lot less than a full tablet.

Evidently the market is there. There's a lot of angst and anger over the fact that the NoteSlate is probably vaporware. I'm not the only one who was very disappointed to find out it will probably never make it to market.
