| Sumario: | Popular expectations run high for pen-based computers that are small enough to be carried around like a notebook and that accept input by means of a pen rather than a keyboard. Developers are finding it difficult to meet the public's expectations due to the difficulty of storing handwriting. Pen-based computers are unable to store handwriting in a space-efficient manner because handwriting, at present, must be stored in graphic form rather than in numeric codes. The companies that make pen-based computers are now attempting to market a product that is an expensive electronic notebook, when pen and paper produce the same result at a much lower price.
