I've noticed that the Tablet PC is getting a lot of hype in some parts of the blogosphere. I was talking about this with a friend the other day, and he brought up something that I hadn't thought of - damage to the screen. What do I mean by that? Well, next time you are at Target (or any of the stores that have electronic credit card signing now), have a look at the screen you sign on. Notice how scratched up it is? Of course, no one is really caring for those screens, or trying to prevent scratching. Still - under constant stylus use, they take a lot of damage. Makes me wonder just what a Tablet PC screen looks like after a few months of active use. Anyone have any real experience with this? Admittedly, my thoughts here are only an educated guess based on similar technology in use....
