Would the "stylus" be required for input? It is on any Wacom device.
While such a device is a pipe-dream for artists (and has been for a LONG time), I seriously doubt the public wants to give up the versatility of finger gestures in favor of a pen, even a pressure-sensitive one.
A few of the Wacom Bamboo tablets support stylus + multitouch. They're also some of the least expensive available.

I've lived in Blacksburg since 2002, and I was just talking about BEV to a friend (VT alum) who moved away a year ago and saw this Google blog post today. In my current house, which is close enough to walk downtown, I still can't get DSL. Fortunately Comcast 8Mb is just barely good enough for my purposes, but I don't make heavy use of torrents or anything like that.
At least I only pay $30/mo, and I still get to stream my favorite shows to my TV, although the quality isn't close to digital cable. I doubt this will improve in the foreseeable future though. We aren't getting FIOS and I'll be surprised when I can get better service for less than double the cost.
