My Asus Eee Note disagrees, and is seen as a Wacom tablet when USB connected to my comp as an added bonus.

the real wacoms have 1025 lines per inch, your Aus Eee Note doesn't have 1025 in the entire touchscreen

the component cost of the touchscreen in the Asus is around $40. I have the larger model here. the component cost for the wacom touch interface and controller (which you can't even really buy) would be in the hundreds of dollars (for a 7").

if you have used a real wacom you will know what I am talking about, the feeling and accuracy is simply awesome. I can't wait until the technology makes it into consumer tablets

I know exactly what you are talking about. I have a tablet PC with a Wacom digitizer, and it is awesome. Also, it's been around since 2001.

I remember that tablet, had no idea it was Wacom

they are doing a lot more integrations now, though most are pen:

Beware; "now" appears to be 2009 and most of those products were discontinued once the iPad came out.
