A Very Useful Tool
I've owned an electrovaya scribbler for 6 months now, and it has changed the way I do things.
I take notes in meetings in my own handwriting and I can search them later (no need to convert to text).
There is a lot less paper in my life. Notes, articles and software documentation gets saved and marked up on the tablet...they are with me at home or in the office and they are easy to search.
No more deep stacks of paper on the desk, no more notebooks to thumb through saying "I know it must be in here somewhere".
The laptop simply doesn't fill this nitch...and neither does my pda (which I love, but not for taking extended notes or reading and marking up pdfs).
Just like any technology, it isn't for everyone...but it doesn't need to have the power or screen size of a desktop to serve a VERY valuable and unique role in my life.
