Artists get the Shaft

Are you listening Microsoft, Google, Apple and whomever else is getting into the tablet market.  I Want a Fucking Pressure sensitive Pen for which to actually make stuff which is the opposite of what you can do on these cursed devices.  I have a little piggy bank with dollars and quarters all ready to go when one of these things comes on the market.  HTC is coming out with a little 7 inch one, but it really doesn't look like it has pressure sensitivity and ASUS has one, but it's odd.  Why is this such a huge task for them to do?  Part the way the screens and recognition software is made.... and PART because the people who are begging for this device are few and far between.  It's a nitche market to be sure but a necessary one.  A pen is a very natural input device and I want it the hell back... Everyone's so obsessed with the multi touch bullshit and it's all novelty.  I just want a pretty UI an art program/pen and leave me alone.  I guarantee it'll fly off the shelves if you have both types of input.  Sooooo.  If you people are listening.  I would like this for xmas.  Thank you.
