I hope they're not that dim. You'd think a company set up by physicists and engineers would recognise the potential need to write equations.

Has anybody had experience of writing with a capacitive stylus? My impression is that the writing would have to be quite large, simply because it can't make thin lines.

On a related note, if you look at videos that have been posted so far, it's very conspicuous that the demonstrators usually fail to draw unbroken lines when annotating. That would also be a serious issue if the stylus was unable to correct it.
