Looking slick! I imagine they'd be great in the corporate world.

I think I saw something like this in OfficeMax or CompUSA about a decade ago..not Android of course.

This would be great for schools. all the textbooks and reading books and assignments in one device, no need for a heavy backpack anymore. Technically for that you don't really need paper, just a stylus, but I don't want people to forget how to use pencil and paper just yet.

The press release at:

has a bit about being able to lay a document near the device and have it take pictures as you turn pages:

Quite neat sounding!

May be there's a video of that somewhere...

I've not been able to find anything new on this yet.
Googling "Casio Paper Writer Tablet" for videos hasn't produced any hits so far.
Will just have to wait till Sept. 2012 announcements, I guess...
