Tablet PCs and 1:1 Computing at Brophy College Prep
Brophy College Prep in Phoenix looks like they have gone to 1:1 computing and are heavily invested in Tablet PCs. They have a Tablet PC blog on their site, though the level of activity seems fairly low.

HP TX1000 Review on TabletPC2.com
TabletPC2.com now has a review of the HP TX1000 Entertainment Tablet PC:
The first thing that comes to mind in terms of the HP tx 1000 is that its fun to use. I can’t put my finger on exactly why its such a pleasure to have around or to use but it is. What I can tell you is that it has a beautiful screen and the best sounding speakers I’ve heard on a tablet pc. Combine that with with all of the easy to use features and it makes it hard to put it down once you start using it. Another interesting thing I couldn’t help but notice was that people using the tx 1000 always seem to have a smile on there face.From the hard core experts at the 2007 Microsoft MVP Global Summit to my friends 3 year old twins everyone who tried this machine enjoyed using it.

Vista Pen Flicks
Though I’m still living in an XP world, anyone using Vista might be interested in GBM How-To Series #7 : Using Vista Pen Flicks:
Flicks are a new Vista feature that allow you to navigate documents or change data using only your stylus. So you may ask, what’s the difference between a gesture and a flick. There are only eight flicks available. Up, Down, Left, Right, and of course, the four diagonals and they are not bound by the input panel. You can use a flick anywhere on the tablet screen.
