pen with a clicker

There is a usb pen like input device and you can also get a tablet with a pen. As for making it standard, well, I think the mouse is always going to be part of the shipped system.

Where I used to work we got tablets because we thought, 'we'll digitize the staff's signatures this way'... As it turns out, the hand-eye disconnect is too great to overcome. It's bad enough with a mouse - if you try to do any real precision work, you find that mice are very crude - but with the pen, it gets worse. Everyone who tried it was astonished that they were unable to sign their name legibly.

Now if there is a screen in the pad, like the horrifically expensive Cintiq, the hand-eye disconnect mostly goes away...

 

can u imagine how expensive it'll get if apple were to build touch screens into their entire LCD line..

first post btw, hi everyone...
