I think it's gone. No DPT product links now here where they used to be. Also it's totally orientated to PDFs and seems less flexible than the Kindle Scribe, which needs Amazon servers to do what Kobo Sage/Elipsa does standalone. The Fujitsu eink tablet based on same HW is supposed to be better SW and may still be sold.

Wacom isn't particularly special. MS bought a pen company (Ntrig)because they didn't like it. Apple of course did their own system.

The Wacom EMR is a 2nd generation Wacom tablet stylus. The original was 1992.

The AAAA cell in the MS type pen lasts about 1500 hours of use and maybe years of standby. They are as cheap as 30c and can have up to 10 years shelf life in a cool place if not in a Pen.
The MS rechargeable versions (inc newer Kobo) have about 100 to 500 hours and the cell is not replaceable. The Apple Pencil is only rechargeable.
The Wacom adds drain to the ereader instead.
I do occasionally use a clipboard with A4 paper for diagrams, sketch plans and measurements. I'd get at least a 12″ plus size Kobo if it was at least 227 dpi. The current 13″ models seem too limited and are lower resolution and too expensive.
Edit:
I see Wikipedia claims the Apple Pencil charge lasts about 12 hours of use!
I'm still on the same AAAA cell on my main pen on the Kobo Sage that was fitted a year ago!
