Actually, I'm not so much into wanting touch, unless it's smart enough 
to know that I'm laying my hand on the thing while drawing with the 
stylus.  Though being able to use the smudge tool with my finger would 
be cool.

Think so, yeah.

The good Tablet PCs use Wacom for their interface...the last Wacom 
tablet I used that was separate was the Graphire (original series), and 
I've never used anything more advanced, since that's basically what's 
inside Tablet PCs, functionality-wise.  256 levels of pressure, no 
tilt/direction sensing.

I hear the textured tablet surfaces chew through nibs like candy.  I've 
never replaced my Tablet PC stylus nib yet...
