tablets on 24

Did anyone else see the TabletPC in use on 24 last night? Michelle had her guilty party handcuffed to a pipe, and she whipped out her tablet which was in keyboard mode. She set it down on something, opened it up, and did the "rotate" to put it into draw mode. I thought she was going to have her suspect do a character sketch of his boss! But no, they ended up beaming photos of potential bosses in a slide show, and she herself tapped the screen to switch to a new one. She didn't even give the guy a chance to draw. I mean, just because he murdered a whole hotel as well as infected himself, doesn't mean he doesn't have artistic skills? Oh well. I wonder how that was done for the show, whether it was a corny product plug or if the producers really wanted that type of interaction with technology. And I also wonder which on the team of 24 writers owns a tablet. Michelle might as well - she had the rotate down pretty good. I hope her character survives the virus.
