I'm curious about "touch tablet" input devices as a replacement for
the mouse.  This is for a particular application, not for general
replacement.

The requirements are... should support a "stylus" or some other writing
tool, should have at least an 8x11 inch pad, and the system should just
think there's a mouse plugged in (i.e. no need for special drivers for
individual applications).

Any suggestions or comments about existing products?  Thanks
