Sometime last year (around RC2) my Toshiba M200's video adapter was fried - I'm pretty sure it was due to the lack of thermal management in some of the beta drivers for Vista supplied by Nvidia. The lack of a Tablet PC poses a small problem developing ink driven applications, so I headed to the Shinjuku Bic Camera to pick up Wacom's Bluetooth Tablet (EnglishJapanese) to use with my desktop PC. Curiously they didn't seem to have any in stock, nor did Yodobashi who claimed they were sold out and I would need to wait for the "new model".

Several months later, I still can't seem to buy a Bluetooth Tablet in Japan. It's still listed on Wacom's website although there aren't any links leading from the main pages. Back in Australia it's listed right here under "Products" along with a 2-3 times markup of what the price was in Japan.
