What are the Best Tablet PC Programs for Physics Students?

In summary, the conversation was about a college sophomore getting a degree in physics who just acquired an HP touchsmart tablet PC. They were curious about how programs like MATLAB respond to the tablet's input features and if there is a special version for drawing and organizing information. The person also requested recommendations for tablet specialized note-taking and information organizing programs. A top ten list of note-taking apps was provided, including options such as Evernote, Microsoft OneNote, and Zoho Notebook.

I am a college sophomore getting a degree in physics. I just got an HP touchsmart tablet PC.
How do the programs like MATLAB respond to the tablet input features (math input panel). Is there a special version that let's me do cool things such as straightening my lines and drawing perfect circles?

Also I would like recommendations for tablet specialized note taking programs and especially flowchart / mind mapping / information organizing program. I'm very interested in the latter stuff.
If you use and like any information organizing software please suggest even if you don't know about tablet readiness.

Thanks!
