He has the script, but the point is the feature to ignore the hand is not 
native to the tablet, it has to be handled per application.

After seeing your post about not being able to switch off the touchscreen while 
you are using a pen, I
did some research, and found this YouTube link that not only shows off how well 
the tablet works, it also
gives you a link to a custom script that will allow you to switch off the touch 
screen while using the pen.
You may want to give your lead animator this link:

As far as stylus storage, wrap the pen in velcro and stick the alternate velcro 
side (the hooks) to the case
that you use to store the tablet.

Our lead animator has the Slate running windows 7.  It's not bad, but has a few 
obvious shortcomings such as no place to store the stylus when not in use.  
Also doesn't have a mode to only acknowledge the stylus.  Resting your hand on 
the slate while using the stylus often results in unintended actions.

Actually the one device I'm very interested in is the Samsung Series 7 slate 
running Windows 8.  It's a Core i5 based machine with a Wacom screen, so it's 
100% Windows, not RT.  Seems like a good alternative to a Cintiq with the bonus 
of being a full-blown computer.

But with Win 8 officially shipping soon, I'm waiting to see if there's a 
hardware refresh on the unit in the fall.
