I am not, at this time, concerned about how many pressure levels are supported, or niceties like that.

My understanding is that a full-size Tablet PC, running Windows has to use a Wacom digitizer and pen, as the specs from Microsoft dictate. This means that a Tablet PC can't be used with your finger or other object. It only works with an active stylus. I know this is true of my Fujitsu tablet. This may not be true of early tablets, before MS defined what a Tablet PC was.
I don't know the specs on the UMPC (Origami) devices, but I think these use a passive stylus?
