The hardware probably works, but software is usually another story. Par for the course. The hardware probably works, but software is usually another story.

So maybe you've been here and didn't even know it ;-) @Chris: The box says it’s just for Windows…of course, you must be used to that by now. :-P

The photo is from Zhouzhuang--I'm told Suzhou looks a bit similar, but I've never been there. Ryan, you’re wrong.

Though once shipping is brought into it - you can likely just get a low-end PC tablet (link in post) that does virtually the same thing. I can just send you the software :-) @Matt: Definitely do. I've yet to see an electronic market that isn't loaded with them. Just look at those little stalls that sell all the stupid things you can plug into your USB ports (mice, hubs, fans, flashlights, etc.). BTW Matt: in your TravelWriters.com portfolio, am I mistaken or is that photo of you in Suzhou on Shantang Jie? @Ben: Just let me know man.

I'll have keep an eye out for one. I'm sure my wife would be quite happy using it too. That sounds really cool. I’ll have keep an eye out for one. I’m sure my wife would be quite happy using it too.

I always figured my Chinese writing would be 10 times better if I had hand written all those QQ conversations instead of typing them. I can't imagine it would be too useful to a Chinese person, unless they simply refused to learn how to type, but it must do wonders for solidifying all those Chinese characters you are studying. I may have to get you to send me over one of those to the US. Ryan-
