Ok, so this is the product I've been looking for. Little did I know, it's already here.
It's a tablet PC made by a company called Paceblade from the netherlands. The Slimbook d220 has a screen that works via digitizer pen (active digitizer/mad accurate drawing/pressure sensitive for line weight) or a resistance digitizer (like my Treo/general touch input with any object). So far, my only complaint with it is the screen's resolution - It's XGA which means 1024x768. These days, I'd expect a much better resolution - at least WXGA. That being said, it's a 12.1" screen, which is pretty small, so that is probably a pretty comfortable resolution.
The biggest downside - it's $4,000usd.
From the PDF Brochure :
"The new SlimBook 200 series is the next generation of our successful
slimbook line. The three innovative models of the SlimBook 200 series are
designed to enhance productivity for mobile professionals by offering a
computing solution that functions in the field as well as on the desk.
The SlimBook 200 series combines the power of Intel Mobile Core Duo
Technology with the new Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate operating system
in a sleek lightweight form factor that can be carried about as easily as a pad
of paper, but features the full functionality of a top-of-the-line PC . It represents
the fastest Slate Tablet PC on the market today.
The SlimBook 200 series offers a 12.1” LCD dual mode screen that switches
between active digitizer (pen) and touch screen input. This technology was first

series. Additional features include four user-programmable buttons, biometric
