Bummer...

I have tablet PC and love puzzle games, so I was looking forward to trying Crayon Physics but the demo crashed after the first level!!

I could try it on another machine, but it was almost designed for a tablet PC!

well at least it was the free demo that crashed.

On another note, world of goo looks like it's trying to port to linux. Cool!

I have an old Toshiba m200-s383. I really love it, but it's old enough it's probably not of interest to you.

I think the best feature is that the pen can be detected with out touching the screen. I don't know if this is completely common with modern tablets. I haven't really looked at tablets that hard. I was just looking for a laptop and it turned out the tablet made a lot of sense.

Of the ones I tried so far the HP had that feature, the Fujitsu did not. I'm still not sure whether I would find it useful or annoying. Definitely seems like would contribute to screen life.

it means the pen works more like a mouse. I have an even older fujitsu that doesn't have that feature and it keeps trying to inturpet my pen movements as things, since it can only tell what's going on when you're touching the screen. On my toshiba I can use the pen and still do things like mouse overs, drags, etc.
