Tablet PC?

Has anyone tried one yet? Are they worth it? With me being a teacher, would they be something good in a classroom, or would a notebook pc be better? Thanks!

Well, Anandtech (www.anandtech.com) had a bunch of articles on tablet PC's - the impression I got from those is that they were not overly impressive or useful when you take into consideration their lack of performance, extremely high price, and poor handwriting recognition software (which was supposed to be a big important part of tablets)... I would say that a notebook would be better if you need a mobile computer in the classroom.

With a laptop you can do more things.. for example.. proyect video, play a DVD or use more programs, more space, etc.. :P
