Microsoft has had that for nearly a decade. --Pen based tablets.
Pen based tablets allow:
-- precision of selection (you know those tiny little page number field on this site? - a pen based UI selects those w/ ease)
-- Pressure sensitivity (like writing on paper, great for artists and graphic designers.)
-- Palm rejection (users can rest their palm on the screen w/o confusing the multi-touch system.)
Microsoft pushed expensive precision tablet tech. What Apple did is push cheap playschoolish tablet tech. Both exist, but Microsoft wants a piece of the cheapo market. (it's wide)
