If you look at the pen tablets from (insert forgotten company name
here), including the version that has overlain the display screen
with the pen surface (gee-- sounds like a Newton, no?) the
manipulation of the GUI (desktop GUI included) can be performed by
the pen on the screen. The missing piece is still the keyboard
interaction / handwriting recognition.
