I'm not rather sure that is correct. If this is really a "touch" screen then you should be able to use your finger and the Watcom tablet doesn't allow for that.

So... we will have to wait and see if it is really "touch" or if it is "requires stylus" which woudn't really be "touch screen" now would it?

EDIT: From the engadged web site:

There's also 2GB of built-in storage, memory card expansion and stylus input ("true finger touch" is coming in Q2 2010 to a future product, right now you can only use the stylus, and a color reader is in the works as well for 2011)
Not sure how they can call this a "touch" screen. That is a bit disingenuous.
