I was going to start my own thread to ask this question, but this thread seems fine. There are a lot of impressive users who know a great deal about various aspects of the hardware and software capabilities of the PRS-700. I was wondering if some of those users could help answer some of these questions for me.

1. What are the capabilities of the stylus-sensitive surface (digitizer?) on the 700? I know there is no pressure sensitivity, but what is the resolution?

2. I must admit that I was surprised 700 could quick refresh small parts of the screen (like when highlighting a word or a button color changing when clicked). I was also impressed with the pan and zoom functionality when looking at pictures (thanks to a rapid refresh). With that being said, could drawing and handwriting work in real time (or very little lag) on the 700's e-ink screen? How much could you draw before the whole screen would have to refresh?

Thanks Sony users! Back to reading with my 700 tonight!
