So a tablet-sized smartboard?

Who is the target market for a product like this?

I can see myself being in the target market (sw/hw developer) - while much of my day-to-day work takes place on a computer, I still rely on pen and paper for early sketches/brainstorming and the like, leading to an office with (quite literally!) hundreds of notebooks on the shelves.

If it feels sufficiently paper-y to write on and PDF exporting is seamless-y and with at least a rudimentary tagging function, I'd probably buy one.

Interesting. I'm actually envisioning this being a great tool for academic research.
Yes, having .pdf versions of papers, that you could annotate would be very cool.
If you have an iPad (or know someone who does), download the app "Paper" by 53 and play with it for a while. I think you'll get the idea.
Are you crazy? This is the best thing ever invented, if it is good as in the video. I bet 95% of HN users will buy one.
