On the other hand, I've actually written notes w/ a pen into a .pdf (and my handwriting leans to the small side) and sent them off and the recipients have found them perfectly readable.

Drawing &c. work fine as well.

Until the annotations for stylus-equipped ebooks are as effortless and smooth as painting in programs like ArtRage and Sketchbook, or there're notetaking capabilities like to EverNote or PhatPad, Tablet PCs are much better at scribbling.

That's no problem of "demo unit".
They present the original Sony 600 "as is".
iRex (although being Sony fan as well) in my opinion is superior to Sony concerning touchscreen.
iRex has a WACOM tablet, whereas Sony is touch sensitive.
Meaning: You can rest your hand on iRex' display (which is the "natural" writing position) but not on Sony.
