I would be interested in the combo touch/pen. I use an Intuos for navigation all day editing video, instead of a mouse (I would have carpal tunnel by now otherwise). The touch would be nice because I wouldn't have to pick up and put down the pen all the time, or palm it while typing. The touch-only version works like a laptop trackpad however, with relative positioning. I would need the pen version for the 1:1 relationship between monitor and tablet.

Were you using Word when you lost work? Whenever I crash it brings up a list of unsaved files that were open when it happened, and I simply select one and continue where I left off. This seems to be an answer to what you are talking about, and it already exists.

Folder duplication, not comment duplication

I wonder if it would be possible to use the ring as jog/shuttle for video. I use an Intuos 3 all day every day and it's great, I'm certain I would have carpal tunnel syndrome by now without it.

I would definately switch. The HD is great, but if it can actually connect through the LAN and not just a direct cat5 cable, that is even better. I would love to be able to put the STBs in the closet with the switch.

Does Dish require subscribers to purchase equipment, or would these boxes be supplied?

I wonder if one of these could be hacked into a cheap touchscreen solution for home automation. Anyone know what these kinds of frames run on?

If you have to ask...

Invisible Boy was one of my favorites of the series, and the first thing I thought of when I saw this.

It's Niveus, no chance it will be affordable. I'm guessing $500-$600.
