More Microsoft Courier Info – perfect for students?

Take a look at another video of the Microsoft Courier tablet in use. It looks like the perfect tool for students: note taking, organisation, time management, linking, information searching, information storage, and if you can view and annotate Powerpoint files, possibly the perfect lecture companion.
The price may crash this idea, of course. Also, does this mean I’ll have to learn to write with a pen again?
