We have been proposing "Icon Throwing" as a new primitive for GUI operations. In previous papers, we have used mice as pointing devices for performance measurement, and the results were very positive. We have also found that the task performance is strongly affected by the various aspects of pointing devices. Recently, LCD tablets that use stylus pens are getting popular as pointing devices, especially for mobile PCs ; thus task performance on this kind of devices are becoming important. In this paper, we have conducted an experiment to compare the performance of "Icon Throwing" operation between a mouse and a stylus pen in tablet PC, using eight subjects. As the result, a stylus pen outperformed a mouse in average task operation time, while keeping accuracy (error ratio) at the same level.
