InPlay Technologies Working On Game Changing Pen Technology
I just spent some time talking with Van Potter, CEO and President of InPlay Technologies. He demonstrated for me some potentially game changing technology involving integrated pen and capacitive touch. All I can share at this time is that once their solution becomes available, and OEMs get on board, it could remove most of the traditional barriers to entry for pen-enabled notebooks and tablet pcs, and blow the pen-enabled market wide open.
Stay tuned. 2009 should be a very interesting year.

I can't imagine what this would be. Their website says something about pens storing information and being used for security, but you must be referring to something better than that because that will not be game changing for tablet PCs. Anyway, it is intriguing. We sure need something to blow the market open since it isn't growing like we all expected.
