That sucks, as that feature is one of the things that really makes the iPad click for me. If the Android tablets can't use it, hopefully they can be creative and come up with something that works just as well. Or win in court and get the patent tossed out!

I saw that demoed in windows as well. If Apple actually has a patent on it, I wonder if Windows has licensed it or some such thing.
