The cutest Windows Anywhere goodies

The cutest goodie I took home from Windows Anywhere is the Channel 9 guy I caught.

Worth mentioning as well is the conference pen. It's a 4 stylus thing, the ultimate goodie when I was a kid (born '57). The special thing about this one is the grey stylus. It's pure plastic, no ink. Perfect for a Pocket PC. Will next year's model include a magnetic tip for a tablet ?

Cool C9 guy - I didn't get one while I was there (spent too much time standing in the back).

To bad, there were enough of them. Billy Hollis was the only one who could throw something (almost) as far as the place you were standing. But the C9 guys don't have the critical mass to embark on such a flight.

Great idea with the stylus, as long in the other pen options they use the kind of that rubs off a tablet surface ;-)

...or how about a magnetic pen that *doesn't* write on the tablet surface at all (so you wouldn't have to switch)?!?

I tried (very carefully) to write with a normal pen on my tablet. No ink sticks. And the tablet doesn't respond. Didn't dare to test pressure.
You select the stylus of the WA-pen. For the tablet I would like a magnetic stylus (or indeed all being maginetic)and one on the back of the pen having an eraser one. Just like a pencil.
