2 - BlueBeam Revu - http://www.bluebeam.com
3 - Autoink pdf annotation plug-in - http://www.evermap.com/autoink.asp

Best regards,

This post makes me want to clarify what was unspoken in my previous advice: that if you're going UMPC, i.e., Windows, then we're now in the realm where we'd prefer inking. That is, you'd prefer to annotate using natural handwriting and scribbles, like #1 and #3 in the above list of recommendations. Those inking products make use of the inking capabilities found in XP Tablet, Vista (except Home), and Windows 7.

If you're not going the UMPC/Windows route, and instead are going e-ink like the Kindle DX, then your expectations are lowered, and typewritten annotation is good enough.

Here's another option to add to DDHarriman's list:
4 - The new Evernote/Foxit annotation app.
This also will likely require XP Tablet, Vista, or Windows 7. Evernote in the past have made stand-alone programs (old Evernote and old RitePen) that worked with XP Pro, an OS that has no Tablet functions. But recently they've put that behind them and are requiring a Windows version with tablet functionality.
