Cross Pens for your Tablet PC

For those of you who have Tablet PCs, you really need to get a Cross pen. For those of you that don’t have a Tablet PC, you really need to get a Cross pen, and then a Tablet PC to use it on.

I’d seen reports about the Cross pens being of really good quality and comfortable to write with, so I thought I’d jump in and buy one. I’ve used it on and off for about a year now, and I have to say I agree – it’s a great Tablet PC pen. The trouble is, I’ve used it on about 3 out of the 90 or so days that I have had my Motion LE1600.

Given how nice it is to write with, that seems a little odd (at least it did when I saw it on my desk looking lonely). I think it comes down to sheer convenience. Have a pen in your tablet PC (the Motion pen is OK, the toshiba M200 pen wasn’t) means that you don’t have to think about external things.

Those who know me will testify to the fact the I only think of one thing at a time. Tablet PC AND a pen – that’s pushing it.

Yet another example of getting into a habit – take the nice pen, Nick . . .

Update: I finished the first draft of this blog, and then picked up the standard Motion pen to use the Tablet, despite the Cross Pen being on the desk in front of me. Go figure !?!
