I'm thinking about picking one up but there are NO demo units anywhere up here (Toronto, Canada)... anybody have one? What can you tell me about actually using one? Is it as cool as it seems to be?

I used one for a bit at a store in Tokyo. It wasn't bad, although it wasn't quite like drawing on the screen of a PDA or something -- somehow seemed a little clumsier and less a feeling of actually drawing on a piece of paper. The stylus apparently acts as a kind of mouse, moving the cursor to where you press, so it seemed a little bit more removed than you might expect. Not sure if I am explaining this right, but it probably isn't a problem, just a difference.
