RE: Anyone tried a tablet?
Check out the Motion Computing ones (http://www.motioncomputing.com/). They do not have a flip-n-twist lid like some of the other players. I saw a demo of these - they are pretty sweet. They can be resold by Dell and I believe they are branded by at least one other OEM, but I forget who. - Karen On Wed, 15 Jan 2003, Hansen, Eric wrote: Is anyone trying the new gateway one?

Re: Anyone tried a tablet?
Yep, used the Compaq/HP one quite a bit, thoughts so far: - Nice product, although the notebook part (the keyboard) feels a little flimsy, seems to work ok though - The Transmeta processor is a nice idea, but from experience the machine seems very sluggish at first, but once things are up and running, the speed improves (once the processor has been able to do its optimisation thing presumably, and XP can cache) - The standard memory definitely isn't enough, the machine was hitting the drive way to much (this is probably more attributable to XP), added the additional 256MB of ram, now runs much faster and smoother. - Docking station is a must, you actually cant complete an initial installation (install office XP etc) without either a network connection (wired or wireless) or a USB CD-ROM drive (which actually worked quite well), if you don't have a docking station - Screen is nice, and viewable angles are quite good - Handwriting recognition works well, but does work the CPU quite hard - The tablet pen left click can be awkward for a left handed person like me (but maybe that's just me), this also includes the default screen layout, where all the icons and menus are on the left hand side of the screen. - Fingerprints etc on the screen are a pain, but this will probably be standard fare for these sorts of devices - The Transmeta power management works well, device has been running all day on one charge (depending on what you are doing obviously) - Device does get quite warm, but with the keyboard folded underneath a lot of the heat isn't as noticeable when you are holding it Glenn - Original Message - From: Ali Wilkes (IT) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 5:45 AM Subject: OT: Anyone tried a tablet?

RE: Anyone tried a tablet?
We are currently testing a few actually. We have the Compaq and the View Sonic. The Compaq is great, fast, reliable. I haven't really had too many problems with it. The only issue is that you need to purchase all sorts of accessories with it for it to really be of any use. The Docking station is great though. With the View Sonic, that leaves something to be desired, pretty cheap product. I really have had a pretty poor experience with the View Sonic's so far. But all in all the tablet's seem to handle themselves pretty well. -Original Message- From: Ali Wilkes (IT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 1:45 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: OT: Anyone tried a tablet?

RE: Anyone tried a tablet?
We have a Toshiba tablet PC for eval. Nice toy, can see some benefits. I personally would wait a while before buying one. This is O.T. Personally, I think tablet PCs are going to eventually replace Laptops. What I really want is a wireless monitor (like the one that viewsonic sells.) I think these are going to be the best thing since sliced bread. Image a 10 or 12 inch screen that you can carry around with you that runs Windows CE, acts like a PDA, but ALSO has an RDP client so you can connect to your desktop or terminal server. I gotta have one! -Kevin _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
