Very cool to see Robert in mainstream media!!
The author mentions tablet pc's in passing:
[At NEC,] Mr Scoble's area of expertise was tablet PCs—laptop computers that allow users to handwrite their notes, and that have been mostly a dud, both then and now.
Sad to see that in the same article since Robert is such a huge tablet pc enthusiast and evangelist.
