Well it certainly is a neat concept. Of course, not to offend any Apple fans here (I am one myself) we know that the price is going to be sky-high like every other Apple product when it comes out if it comes out.

If it does I can't wait. If it's not going to, that was an amazing video.

I bought several years ago a fujitsu tablet. It was one of the nicest you could buy at the time, and to be honest it was great for school. At the time I was taking notes that couldn't be done in Word, like organic chem, and calculus. However, outside of this function the design isn't logical. The purpose of computers is not to replicate an antiquated process "like writing by hand" but to enhance them. Anyways, it is a niche product and wouldn't really be advantageous to the masses.

Well, I personally would use a MT tablet PC if the interface worked. Today, for example, I checked out the touch screen HP computer and it was horrible. The idea was great but execution failed so much. Why? Simply because of UI. It was built on Windows! It was a joke!

But Macs ont he other hand...it would work perfectly! Apple got it right with iPhone and iTouch. Just a tad larger version of iTouch wouldn't hurt the market and it is executable. I personally would definitly buy it. As I said, for me it all boils down to good UI and so far Apple is the only company that came close to the ideal.
