The tilt functionality with the calligraphy tool lets you hold the pen at 
a specific angle and as you move the brush (without changing the tilt), 
the width changes.  It's different than pressure because the angle 
determines the size of the stroke.  Much more natural for doing, say, 
Kanji calligraphy (which is what I tried it out with - no, I don't know 
it, but I did learn to write "Japan" in order to see what it would look 
like - and my sister-in-law would probably laugh at that, just as she did 
at my attempts to say rather complex things in Japanese <g>).

If I get a few minutes, I'll create something and post it so you can see 
the difference.
