Why you’d buy this let alone use it is anyone’s guess, but the Brando SISO Tablo for Laptop turns any ordinary Vista or XP laptop into a tablet…sort of.  The device hangs over the bevel of your laptop’s screen, uses TABLO annotator software and my best guess is that it detects and records the position of the pen.   What’s kind of neat is that the stylus also doubles as a regular pen.  So when you’re taking ordinary written notes on paper and have the sensor clipped to the top it magically transfers them to your computer.

Ok, so it’s actually kind of cool and for just $99 why the hell not?
