Yeah, I've tried the same method but for some reason has the same problems. Try out MS Word for signatures. Click "review" and "start inking". It's like writing on paper!

UMPC's like the Samsung Q1 have cases made by Otterbox. Check out http://www.otterbox.com/pc-tablet-um...ung-q1up-case/ and look at the photo gallery. For only $499 it's about the same price as a PDA is now. Yes it's a little bigger with a 7" screen but I think it's manageable.

Brian I agree laptops with the nice big keyboard are better for fast typing and data entry, and with a tablet you get the best of both worlds.
