While I can understand wanting the ability to use the stylus exactly the same as a pencil with eraser where muscle memory has been learned since kindergarten, it would seem that after relearning to tap the icon would actually be a little faster that physically rotating the stylus.

On all the Pocket PC's I have had, you can erase the last character by just drawing a right to left line in Letter Recognizer. All PPC's have passive digitizers. Why can't passive tablets do the same? > >
From: Krickles on 7 Mar 2008 21:33 Thanks for the additional replies and I apologize for being delayed in my response...I traveled all day. To answer Beverly's question, I'll reference V Green's last post. I was an avid PDA user and would like the same simple functionality with the tablet interface. I'm used to a simple backstroke to erase a single letter or group of letters and then can easily fill in or correct mistakes. Also, I find flipping the pen over to use the eraser efficient. It's just my preference I also what I expected. This is my first tablet. I've contacted Wacom to see if they have a driver I can use with Tablet 2005. They have one for Vista, but I don't want to make that change. Thanks again. I'll keep checking the post in case more info comes in.

Besides the eraser, the Toshiba pen driver doesn't work with Photosop in all its features (specially pression sensibility). What I did was download the Wacom driver for Tablet PC. The eraser run and all the features with Photoshop. The problem is that the sistem is more unestable and sometimes you have to reiniciate it.
