With the ever increasing number of tablets and 2-in-1 laptops having pen inputs, I would have thought that for Asian markets, they would be preferred over keyboard input. Especially for the untapped demographics that were previously reluctant to use computers due to the difficulties with entering logograms from a keyboard.
