Or at least that’s what the market seems to <img src="../../Graphics/Other Photos/Assorted 2007-2/saharainkshow.jpg" alt="TabletKiosk Tablet PC" width="200" height="151" align="right" />think, which is why the market is overwhelmingly populated with convertible Tablet PCs. But <A href="http://www.tabletkiosk.com/index.asp">TabletKiosk</A> is a big believer in the slate Tablet PC and <A href="http://www.tabletkiosk.com/products/sahara/i400s_pp.asp">the Sahara i440D </A>certainly proves that they know what they are doing. I’ve never been a slate Tablet PC user due to how I work. But getting a chance to spend a couple of weeks with the Sahara i440D has opened my eyes up to the possibility for some point in the future. </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Sahara i440D I evaluated is running Vista Business and has a Dual-Mode screen offering the user the ability to shift between touch and an active digitizer at the touch of a button. Both modes operate as advertised and I have to say that I find TabletKiosk’s method of dual screens preferable to the other Tablet PCs that offer both touch and active digitizers. The i440D is running an Intel Core Duo LV 2500 processor rated at 1.83Mhz, so it isn’t the fastest Tablet PC out there, but I was impressed with its speed and performance. It handled Vista as well as any other Tablet PC I’ve had my hands on. I was also impressed with the size, weight, and construction of the slate. It feels very natural to take notes in either portrait or landscape modes. Note that TabletKiosk’s Sahara slates come in black or white.</font><br /> </p> <p align="left"><STRONG><A href="http://media.libsyn.com/media/gottabemobile/SaharaI440DAInkshow.wmv"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Watch or download the High Res version </font></A></STRONG><br /> </p> <p align="center"><font color="#006699" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><b><em><span class="style63"><img src="../../Graphics/Buttons/Lines/CosmicGelLm4.gif" alt="line" width="500" height="3" /></span></em></b></strong></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2"><A href="../../you-had-me-at-the-pen-the-x61-tablet-pc" title="'You had me at the pen ...'

The X61 combines the best of features - a powerful processor, a long battery life, high resolution and highly visible screen, light weight and the fantastic ThinkPad keyboard 7 TrackPoint to create a flexible and powerful computer. Add to this, Microsoft Vista (I know; it's not ideal on the desktop, but it is a much improved Tablet OS) and I have a powerful tool for mobile productivity. <BR /> <BR /> <a href="http://web1.streamhoster.com/ica/emo/20070712_EricMackAndKellyForristerTourTheLenovoX61tabletPC.mp3" target="_blank"><strong>Listen in as I give Kelly a tour of the new Lenovo ThinkPad X61 Tablet PC. </strong></a></font><A title="Link" href="http://web1.streamhoster.com/ica/emo/20070712_EricMackAndKellyForristerTourTheLenovoX61tabletPC.mp3"><BR /> </A> </p> <p align="center"><font color="#006699" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><b><em><span class="style63"><img src="../../Graphics/Buttons/Lines/CosmicGelLm4.gif" alt="line" width="500" height="3" /></span></em></b></strong></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/2007/09/ontherun-with-t.html" target="_blank"><strong>OnTheRun with Tablet PCs podcast #40- Marc's back!</strong></a><br /> <font color="#999999">kontherun</font></font><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><img src="../../Graphics/Other Photos/Assorted/JK on the Run.jpg" alt="JKontherun" width="174" height="160" align="right" /></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><A href="http://jkontherun.blogs.com/otrwithtpcs/2007/09/ontherun-with-t.html" target="_blank">Listen here</A> ( MP3, 17.7 MB, 51 minutes) </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Marc Orchant and James Kendrick are back with show #40, yes, Marc is back for this show!

Dell is entering the Tablet market later this year and the impact on the enterprise market is fodder for meaningful discussion.

Rob and Warner also pull out their toolboxes and talk about their favorites applications and must haves, but unfortunately the list doesn’t change all that much, and their are too few tools in the box. You can check out Warner’s list of Must Have Tablet PC Apps here, and I’m not sure Rob has ever done a post about what he carries in his toolkit, but if you listen to the show, you'll find out all about it.</font><BR /> </p> <p align="left"><A href="http://media.libsyn.com/media/gottabemobile/gbmpodcast32.mp3">Download or listen to this GBM Podcast here</A></p> <p align="center"><font color="#006699" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><b><em><span class="style63"><img src="../../Graphics/Buttons/Lines/CosmicGelLm4.gif" alt="line" width="500" height="3" /></span></em></b></strong></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><A href="http://www.hardwarezone.com/news/view.php?id=8467&cid=11" target="_blank"><strong>Toshiba Introduces USB Docking Station</strong></A><BR /> <font color="#999999">Hardware Zone</font></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Toshiba Singapore Pte Ltd’s Computer Systems Division announces the dynadock USB <img src="../../Graphics/tablet photos/Toshiba Photos/toshibaDynadock.jpg" alt="Toshiba dynadock" width="240" height="272" align="right" />docking station with video capabilities to provide the luxury and convenience of connecting multiple displays and peripherals simultaneously.

This video is a short demonstration on how you can use Virtualization to accomplish what you may need to do. Sometimes we have some old software that may have issues with Vista for example and using a virtual Microsoft XP system can be the answer for you.

Virtual machines allow for more than one operating system to run on the same hardware. What this also means is that when you are using a virtual operating system, good hardware is needed. In this example I used the Sahara i440D with Intel Dual Core processors and 2g of ram, and as you can see in the video the tablet handles everything with any hesitation. </font><BR /> <BR /> </p> </div> <p align="center"><font color="#006699" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><b><em><span class="style63"><img src="../../Graphics/Buttons/Lines/CosmicGelLm4.gif" alt="line" width="500" height="3" /></span></em></b></strong></font></p> <p align="left"><A href="http://news.awn.com/index.php?ltype=top&newsitem_no=20859" target="_blank" id="r-6_1120466518"><strong>Toon Boom Releases Studio 4</strong></A><BR /> <font color="#999999">Animation World Network</font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2"><SPAN id="intelliTxt"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Toon Boom Animation announced today the release of Toon Boom Studio 4, the latest </font><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><img src="../../Graphics/Software/ToonBoom.jpg" alt="ToonBoom Animation Studio" width="251" height="77" align="right" /></font><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">version of its all-in-one animation software solution.

Seen as a major evolutionary step in PC functionality and usability, it brought greater simplicity and mobility to the computing experience. In 2006, the next major evolution took place - the introduction of a smaller and lighter Tablet PC or Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC). Today, Tablet PCs are used in construction, law, sales force automation, health care, and government institutions to enable a growing mobile workforce. With the ease and convenience of the Tablet PC, it is no surprise that many laptop users are switching to tablets to capture the benefits of pen-based computing. For those of you who are considering making the switch, you might find some useful tidbits of information below. <img src="../../Graphics/Software/Bluebeam.jpg" alt="Bluebeam software" width="234" height="163" align="right" /><BR /> <BR /> Let's start with resources. There are a couple of places to find information on Tablet PCs. <strong>Gottabemobile</strong> has a plethora of useful information when it comes to Tablets and other mobile devices. Especially cool - the "Ink Shows" - video reviews that cover hardware and software related to Tablet PCs. They also have editorials, podcasts, a user community, and more. Another favorite site is <strong>TabletPc2</strong>. Here you will find quick access to the hardware manufacturers that provide solutions for the tablet community. There are also useful reviews and tips and tricks. </font><BR /> <BR /> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Next, let's discuss your basic options - slate, convertible, ruggedized, Wacom, or UMPC. To keep things simple - a slate is a tablet without a keyboard, a convertible is a Tablet with a keyboard, ruggedized means the tablet can withstand some pretty harsh conditions (4' drop to concrete, water submersion, etc.), Wacom Tablet is a display/monitor with pen-based input, and the UMPC is a mini tablet (usually 7" screen or less). The option best for you depends on your needs <BR /> <BR /> For those of you who have no need for a keyboard and have grown up with the pencil and pen, the slate is the way to go. Much lighter and thinner, it is the electronic equivalent of the pad and pen. The smaller form factor and light weight also minimizes arm fatigue. Plus, just add a portable keyboard if the need to type arises. <BR /> <BR /> The convertible is a nice option for those accustomed to a laptop and will use a keyboard more often than the stylus. This gives you the flexibility to use the stylus when the need arises, but work predominantly in laptop mode. </font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.bluebeam.com/web07/us/insider/issues/insider-mobile.asp?src=1867" target="_blank">Continue.......</a><BR /> </p> <p align="center"><font color="#006699" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><b><em><span class="style63"><img src="../../Graphics/Buttons/Lines/CosmicGelLm4.gif" alt="line" width="500" height="3" /></span></em></b></strong></font></p> <p align="left"> <LEGEND><A href="http://www.pringle.net.nz/blog/PermaLink,guid,4715db20-8593-45ee-a2cd-c17c9e8558af.aspx" target="_blank" rel="bookmark"><strong>Talking tablet @ Virtual TechEd</strong></A></LEGEND> <font color="#999999">pringle.net.nz</font><br /> </p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">At <A href="http://www.pringle.net.nz/blog/ct.ashx?id=4715db20-8593-45ee-a2cd-c17c9e8558af&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.microsoft.com%2faustralia%2fteched%2f" target="_blank">TechEd Australia</A> in the Gold Coast I had the chance to talk tablet on camera for the Virtual TechEd crew.

It looks to me like Intel is moving its marketing might away from the UMPC. That's very unfortunate for those that develop and support this platform. Now some could argue that Intel hasn't done all that much to advocate the UMPC anyway. As a software developer, that would be my opinion. Outside of announcing the UMPC before Microsoft and providing some sneak peeks as various reference designs, I'm not sure what else Intel is doing in terms of UMPC evangelism. I've been at Intel events where the people don't even know one lick about UMPCs, other than some group in Intel works on them. Then again, maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.</font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Anyway, now Intel's marketing effort for the UMPC is making more sense--it's all about the MID. Now in some respects, what's the difference between a MID and a UMPC? Maybe they're a little smaller, but other than that we're talking about very similar devices. In fact, this Moorsetown-enabled MID mockup sure looks a lot like the Haiku device Bill Gates was showing around as the future of the UMPC as well as a little iPhone splashed in.</font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#006699" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><b><em><span class="style63"><img src="../../Graphics/Buttons/Lines/CosmicGelLm4.gif" alt="line" width="500" height="3" /></span></em></b></strong></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><A href="http://www.mobiletechreview.com/notebooks/Gateway_M275.htm" target="_blank" id="r-7_0"><strong>Gateway M275XL Tablet PC Reviewed</strong></A><BR /> <font color="#999999">mobiletechreview</font></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The key words to keep in mind when thinking of the Gateway M275XL convertible tablet <img src="../../Graphics/tablet photos/Gateway/GatewayM275.gif" alt="Gateway M275XL Tablet PC" width="151" height="102" align="right" />are "think big". While other Windows XP Tablets flirt with subnotebook status, the Gateway comes in at 12.6" x 10.8" x 1.1" and weighs 5.7 pounds. This means it has a roomy 14.1" display that's easy on the eyes and an internal optical drive. It also means this is not a model that you'll carry around in tablet mode for an hour on your arm without struggling with its weight and girth. Thus the M275 is a great tablet for those who want a notebook computer first and tablet features second. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#006699" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><b><em><span class="style63"><img src="../../Graphics/Buttons/Lines/CosmicGelLm4.gif" alt="line" width="500" height="3" /></span></em></b></strong></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><A href="http://www.tabletpcreview.com/default.asp?newsID=955" target="_blank" id="r-1_0"><strong>Fujitsu LifeBook T2010 Tablet PC First Look Review</strong></A><BR /> <font color="#999999">Tablet PC Reviews</font></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Fujitsu LifeBook T2010 has been on the market for a little bit now, but this is the firs<img src="../../Graphics/tablet photos/Fujitsu Photos/T2010/Fujitsu T2010 Twist.JPG" alt="Fujitsu LifeBook T2010 Tablet PC" width="169" height="156" align="right" />t time we have had the opportunity to spend some quality time with it, besides the quick hands-on when it was announced.

Hence, several features which are present in the T4220 and T2010 (like right-clicking and erasing with the stylus) are not present. <BR /> <BR /> The T2010 is the latest tablet PC from the Japanese maker. If Fujitsu's claims are true, then it has the best battery life of the three, going for up to 11 hours on the extended cell. It also has one of the brightest screens for a tablet PC, shining at 300nits. However, it uses the ULV Core 2 Duo chip which may not be adequate for anything more than productivity tasks, while the optical drive has been sacrificed to make the unit lighter and slimmer. <BR /> <BR /> The T4220 pounds the lot with its full-fledged Core 2 Duo chip and integrated optical drive. This is certainly for those who refuse to skimp on features and performance. However, it is decidedly hefty at almost 2kg, so don't expect to carry it one-handed for long periods.</font><BR /> </div> <p align="center"><font color="#006699" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><b><em><span class="style63"><img src="../../Graphics/Buttons/Lines/CosmicGelLm4.gif" alt="line" width="500" height="3" /></span></em></b></strong></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><A href="http://www.pcretailmag.com/news/28749/Microsoft-hand-out-XP-to-Vista-haters" target="_blank" id="r-1_1121085480"><strong>Microsoft hand out XP to Vista haters</strong></A><BR /> PC Retail</font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Exclusively with laptops carrying Vista Business or Ultimate editions</font></p> <DIV> <div align="left"> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Buyers of laptops with Vista Business or Ultimate editions installed will find they have the option to downgrade to XP as part of a scheme that Microsoft would prefer to be kept quiet.<BR /> <BR /> Even though the company is pushing the Vista operating system hard, it has made an announcement via the Lenovo website, which sheepishly states that: "For a limited time only Lenovo customers that have Windows Vista Business or Ultimate installed on their machines will have the chance to purchase a Windows XP Recovery CD."<BR /> <BR /> Fujitsu, however, has taken disgruntled Vista users a bit too seriously and will be compensating by including a copy of Windows XP in the box with their laptops and tablets.<BR /> <BR /> "That's going to help out small- and medium-size businesses," Fujitsu marketing manager Brandon Farris told CNET News.com.</font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hewlett Packard will also begin a program in August for several of its business models.

The Microsoft UMPC</a></font><br /> <font color="#999999">UMPCBuzz</font></h4> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">One of the worst things happened this year in the Ultra-Mobile PC World. Intel could not figure out how to market the UMPC platform and shifted terms to Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs). </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>What went wrong for Microsoft?</strong></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">1. Microsoft screwed with the UMPC Community. After the Ultra Mobile PC launch, Microsoft competed with most webmasters to build a site about the UMPC. This type of action does not initiate competition but slows progress. Microsoft employees did not understand the difference between supporting a community and buying a community. This continues to this day with an Origami site competing against other UMPC sites. Once more, this lack of support led some select sites to change emphasis or abandon posting altogether. </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">2. Along this line of thought, potential consumers became confused. Is it Ultra-Mobile PC, Ultra Mobile PC, or Origami? Microsoft created confusion by registering a domain with the name Origami and kept referring to the Origami instead of UMPC. Sure sure. There was an attempt to justify the names by referring to software v. hardware. The attempt was lame.</font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>What went wrong for Intel?</strong></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">1. Intel wants to sell processors. The original UMPCs were old hardware and Intel wanted to discuss new processors. More important, VIA-based UMPCs hit the market with the most penetration and scared the heck out of Intel.</font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">2. Intel did not focus energies and clarify their position on Ultra Mobile PCs. While many employees were shifted to the category, leaders failed to provide a clear mission. Intel needs to think 5 years, 50 years, and 100 years in advance. The UMPC was almost a backwards thought process for Intel. </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">3. Intel did not invest in the UMPC phrase. For example, fresh content on the Intel UMPC.com site does not exist, with the same two stories showing since April*. Maybe someone should buy that site and fix it. </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Sitting back and considering the events over the past six months, one can easily get all excited over the silly drivel about Intel MIDs and Microsoft UMPCs. Neither company is coherent. There was great hope but like all Microsoft events over the past few years - hope was a four letter word quickly morphed into profanity. </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yet, the Intel MID has momentum. While Microsoft sleeps - Intel pushes forward. This formula is a great mixture for Intel to wash away the UMPC and work with manufacturers to build competitive products to the Apple iPhone. </font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#006699" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><b><em><span class="style63"><img src="../../Graphics/Buttons/Lines/CosmicGelLm4.gif" alt="line" width="500" height="3" /></span></em></b></strong></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><A href="http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/ew/2007/09/24/stories/2007092450070300.htm" target="_blank" id="r-1_1121199417"><strong>IT – in sickness and in health</strong></A><BR /> <font color="#999999">Business Line</font></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Tablet PC </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Fortis Healthcare is pilot-testing the use of tablet PCs.

And of course in mobile circles those issues smolder pretty close to the surface. It was reported that “<em>Microsoft is quietly allowing PC Makers to offer a downgrade option to buyers that get machines with the new operating system but want to switch to Windows XP</em>.” Actually this isn’t really news at all. If you follow the link to this document, you’ll see that this has been available for Vista Business and Vista Ultimate customers since the beginning. The “quietly” part may be news, (I would like to think it was just because this wasn’t communicated effectively by Microsoft and not just lousy reporting), and how some OEMs are handling this may be news, but there is more to the story beyond flame fanning. </font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Calendars Focused on January 31, 2008 and Eyes on SP1</strong></font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Fujitsu has recently started shipping an XP disc with its laptops and Tablet PCs, and other OEMS have created programs to keep customers happy at present.

And with reports of Vista SP1 being slowly rolled out in Beta, you can bet that the rush is on to ship that service pack prior to January 31 so that Microsoft can keep to its deadline.
