I've got a samsung pen tablet and don't use it for games.  The
reflex-touch games don't interest me for long.  
I see kids playing the games on their chunky tablets and they seem to
enjoy it -- or it passes the time.

It's now technology tho' and I wonder why there hasn't been an
explosion of a new kind of gaming, like maybe built into manga or
whatever, that takes advantage of the new medium?  Maybe I'm missing
something?

The strange thing I find with tablets is that OK I can do it on the
tablet, but in so many cases I prefer to do it in real life.  Like,
I'd rather draw a picture in real space, whatever size and materials
available, than draw one on my super-slick pressure sensitive tablet
in my very latest graphics app.
