Cyberpad: Almost identical to the above. Marginally cheaper.

device, but it also has a writing functionality used as an aid to it's =
primary function. More for annotation on the material (e.g. eBook) =

appear not as they are being 'written' but after a slight hesitation (of =
computation time), so this might still produce the same stifling effect =
as in typing, I imagine. No ink used here. Expensive at ~=A3450.

Maybe, students at lectures, or businessmen at conferences/business =
