Ever since seeing the first glimpses of one I was hooked : a tablet PC. Last Dotned meeting seeing Sander working with one I decided it was time to find me one.
Browsing around I picked an Acer travelmate C110. Actually buying one was a little harder. Tablet's are still not popular yet, using Google I found it available at a cheap Web-shop, listed as a notebook. The reviews for the shop were ok, the price good (under 1500€ excl. Vat) so l took the gamble.
It is a fantastic machine. With a Centirino running at I GHz and 512 Mb as powerful as a "real" note book and it breathes connectivity through all it's connectors;
- USB 2.0
- Firewire
- WiFi(g)
- bluetooth
- Infra-red
All of this packed in 1.5 kilos.
A tablet makes a perfect target for XP sp2. Which will. upgrade the OS to tablet 2005, which is like XP pro with a very good handwriting input. (Only when you write in English) and heads to funny Spel lies errors. Am using it right now and deliberately did not correct it's last opinion on what I had chalked.
Where does NET fit in.? the tablet's specific api's are NET assemblies, (Actually they wrap up Com) The framework is part of the default install. Who's next?
