As a former tablet PC user:

-Handwriting is interesting, but slow. A good touch typist types far faster than any sort of handwriting.

-The on screen keyboard is nice, I'm sure, but I still prefer a real keyboard when possible.

-What it is great for is diagrams and equations. This is a huge plus for students wanting to use it for taking notes.

"In some touch devices the digital pen allows you to write with ink on the screen, flip the pen over and erase out as if you would with an ordinary pencil."

This is due to the differing technologies,I think. The technology for touch devices is different from the technology used for tablet PC devices.
