It doesn't look like anything new to me. Mind you, it's certainly not designed for me, or anyone else who wants to work on their computer.
I've been trialling a tablet PC for the last few months. It looks nice, you can write on the screen, the handwriting recognition is amazing, it has Vista and a proper keyboard. You can swivel the screen and use it as a normal laptop. However, I find for 99% of purposes I use it as a laptop. I did take notes a few times with it, but I preferred pen and paper. The ergonomics are terrible. The way you either have to crouch over a tablet on a table, balance it on your legs or hold it up to use make it pretty terrible for movies. This is probably even worse if you have to hold and type. I guess they'll be a good aftermarket for stands, keyboards etc. Cheers, Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:owner- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Mo McRoberts > Sent: 27 January 2010 22:38 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [backstage] iPad > > So, what does everyone think? > > (and how much effect will it have on the <video> situation over the > next 18 months or so, do we reckon?) > > M. > - > Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
