Duo sensor turns any display into a touchscreen

This little doohickey you can in principle with a special pen to treat a laptop screen, as if it were a touch screen. You can write, you use a keyboard on the screen, or tap on the display.

Since the Tablo is not generally available in the U.S. yet, the duo could be a good alternative. It was designed to work with the tablet software in Windows Vista and Windows 7 built work, although Mac support coming soon supposedly.
