For me to really switch from paper to umpc, tablet or anything else, the most important requirement would be to have 4 or 5 equivalent gadgets at the same time.

I would prefer 4-5 A4 tablet PCs of the slate kind with an e-paper screen or similar if possible. All of these devices to be synchronised to my PC in an instant.

As I never work with a single sheet of paper only, but many often I use several documents to finalise a new one, I badly need the ability to have all of them before me at the same time.

These devices do not even need to have a full operating system. I need only handwriting, document/page switching, saving, synchronising to a common data storage. The hardware needs to be as sleek as possible. One more thing: preferably not running on Windows but open sourced software as I don't want to learn IT all over again every 3 years and drop out all my documents when a new version of Windows replaces everything I got used to. Also I hate pop-up windows, because I know what I am doing and I don't need an "office assistant" to provide me with advice continouosly.

Unfortunately, I am not setting the market trend, so I don't expect my dream to be realised in the next 10 years. These things are just way too expensive.

Finally I hope you get my point that having a single but "perfect" device will not really allow us to transfer from paper to e-solutions unless you have super-power memory of course ...
