I think this has a LOT of potential. As a web developer, it would help me make quick wireframes and share it immediately with my client. This is priceless.

It's unfortunate that internal wifi is not an option as plugging a cable in or swapping a card out is a hassle. Bluetooth with a syncing server on your computer would be great. think about it press button on pad and have it show you a list of computer to send the file to.

If this existed, I'd buy it on the spot even though I'm far from an early adopter when it comes to electronics.

Too bad it doesn't-the lack of a next page button and actual product pictures (among other things) signals this.

Oh well, back to dreaming about the MS Courier Concept.

The last thing I need is another place to write by hand. Handwriting is an incredibly inefficient way to transmit information from brain to computer, especially for me (I'm dysgraphic). I just want a very long-life note-taking tablet with a decent keyboard. There's a reason the old Tandy 100 is still in use by a handful of journalists. Nothing has really taken the place of it, as far as I know. The Kindle keyboard is…

For handwriting - I'd agree. The world is in need of a good digital sketchpad though.

closest you can get to a courier is a kindle and tab in the same carry case.

Apart from "cool", is there a tangible advantage to this over a pad of paper? I don't see one. It looks to me like a future expensive thing I forgot on the bus. I'd also for sure lose the pen and end up using it to support real paper to write on.

Now, if you could do things like zoom, copy/paste, and connect (wifi) with a computer/projector, I could see buying one.
