Update: Complete XT3 Web Page Up

UPDATE: Dell has completed the XT3 ordering page with deliveries to start in late September:

The XT3 features an N-trig digitizer, but will feature a new digital pencil design that will be longer than the existing battery-powered digital pencils and, like the HTC Flyer DP, will feature two buttons (presumably right-click and erase, like the original N-trig battery-less pens). There is also a good chance that the XT3 will feature the complete 4th generation N-trig digitizer hardware with the complete set of updated chips.

The base price is just below $1800...for an i3 processor! In a trial run, my customizing choices quickly ballooned the price to $3032, which I think is ridiculous in today's environment! I'm not overly interested in buying an XT3, but if I were, this is definitely one case where I'd wait for the refurbished units to hit the Dell Outlet store.

$3000...?!?? Seriously?

I'm getting really used to that erase button being on the side (HTC Flyer) - it's actually much easier than flipping the pen over. I keep right clicking when I try to erase on my x61t!

It will be very interesting to see how n-trig's technology is evolving. Competition in the market is always a good thing.
