Does N-trig Digitizer pen, have pressure sense? Then if does work, will it work well with photoshop?

[oztabletpc]

@drers25i Yes it does, but the processor on this tablet would not be sufficient for photoshop.

The one key reason why people want a Windows 7 tablet is to use handwriting in OneNote. Can you please demonstrate this? And when demonstrating can you please do a proper demo showing the devices ability to handle palm rejection? Thanks

[oztabletpc]

@riverwalkcoaching Certainly will be doing that once the production units come in. Rest asured that OneNote will function very well on this tablet. Since this was a pre-production sample, we were not allowed to install any software on it at this stage. Expecting stock to arrive very soon!

@riverwalkcoaching As for palm rejection, the N-Trig Digitizer / Touch Screen has three modes. Pen priority (i.e touch is off when pen is near the screen), pen only and pen + touch together. You can set it up to toggle between modes with a double tap on the screen. It's simple, and it's the most reliable form of palm rejection without leaky abstractions.
