Re: [OT] Samsung highlights the Galaxy Note’s Wacom digitizer

Hi Richmond,

A Trust tablet could be a nice alternative for Windows users, but it doesn't seem to support Mac OS X and Linux. 

Usually I don't care about statements like "enormous". I don't care about statements like "more than 150 bug fixes" either ;-) I believe it when I see it.
