I've always liked the idea of a tablet where you can write directly on the screen. I'm not an artist, but I'd imagine it'd be useful when editing documents or simply jotting down something for someone to see. Apple doesn't have any tablet notebooks, so we have to turn to another 3rd party solution.
The Princeton Tablet Monitor (PTB-TMW19B) is one solution, and it sure does look nice. At normal times, you can use it as a regular monitor. And when you need to use the tablet, you can tilt the monitor to a writing angle. It sports a matte screen, which is a plus for me as I am not fond of glossy screens. This one is definitely on my wish list, and would go great with a Mac Mini.
In Japan, it ranges around $900 to $1200. See more pics at its website (Japanese). Sure is a little pricey.

Has anyone tried this in Japan? How is it? Do desu ka? E kakimasu ka? Adobe Suite daijobu deska? How about pressure sensitivity? It looks cheaper than the Cintiq at $1000. for 10". Thank for your reply.
Hi Tikiwolf, no, I personally don't know anyone that has this thing. From some reviews in Japan, some people have said that the monitor cannot be flattened to a 180 degree allowing you to write on the tablet as you would on a desk. Personally I'd like to know how this gadget is as well.
