I'd love an A4 sized one of these and a screen, monochrome would be fine, I spent so much of my life drawing out code/approaches on squared pads only to leave the pad at the office. All I would want is some way of indexing them and one press to send as an email. I'd drop 200 quid on that right now.

I tried it. I really wanted to like it, but the writing screen was just not bright enough for me. May be it will work for you.

That's more or less what a Surface Pro with OneNote (and OneDrive) does. But it isn't even ballpark $200. More like $700+.
$200 would be ideal, I don't need a tablet just a high quality portable digitizer rather than another tablet.
Next tablet upgrade might well be a surface pro though even running Windows (which I haven't done for a decade) as I'd really like instant access to all of my sketches going back months or years.
EDIT: It would be incredibly useful to pull up a sketch of an architecture against a git timestamp so I could figure out WTF I was thinking at the time ;).
How many tens of millions of dollars has Microsoft sunk in Surface, tablets and other touch technologies, only to have Apple eat their lunch? How many billions sunk in MSR every year yielding no commercial products? Microsoft has always needed to get their product vision from somewhere else, and for all of the hoopla about Nadella and open sourcing everything, that core fact about Microsoft hasn't changed. It's reall…
Microsoft seems to be perfectly successful to me, no? R&D, by virtue of being R&D, rarely makes it to the market in a recognizable form. My guess is that the lessons learned there certainly have been applied to their real profit centers.
PS - I don't personally like software patents, but you cannot deny they make money for research-based organisations.

Have you looked at Boogie Board Sync? http://www.myboogieboard.com/na/products/boogie-board-sync-9... I tried it. I really wanted to like it, but the writing screen was just not bright enough for me. May be it will work for you.
What was the delay like in actual usage?
EDIT: This is literally what I was describing and have wanted for ages, US only but some ebay.co.uk vendors have them! I'm having one of these soon!

> he’s built a computer with almost zero latency—when you do something, the computer reacts instantly. Oh, the irony. It's Microsoft's own fault in the first place that we have an operating system that is so horribly unresponsive. And, now, umpteen years later, it's a BIG ADVANCE that we actually make computers do what we want, when we want. Just like before Microsoft.
And in any case, you mean "before Windows" if anything, because DOS was fast as blazes (and did pretty much nothing as a consequence).

The iPhone 5 just for context had a 55ms touch delay. The iPhone 6 actually increased that to 65ms (i.e. it got worse). Very few smartphones break the 50ms barrier (like one total from what I can tell).
That's what Microsoft are working on.
