      PC Mag review of current Tablet PCs
     Posted by WNewquay On May 14 2008 At 6:31:14 PM
    PC Mag does a quick roundup of several of the heavy hitters in the current Tablet PC landscape. The introduction is pretty positive.

    Slate tablets and convertible tablets have the portability of a light laptop, with the added flexibility of a touch screen. Here are a few of our favorites.
    ...
    Not all workers have the luxury of being able to sit down in order to use a laptop. If you have to input information or write notes while on your feet, a tablet PC may be the way to go. You have your choice between a slate tablet, which has no keyboard—you write or input data with a stylus or fingertip—and a convertible tablet, with an integrated keyboard and a screen that can be swiveled between laptop and tablet mode.


    It is nice to see Vista get a positive acknowledgement here.

    ... All of the convertible tablets here run Windows Vista, which integrates tablet functions and provides particularly good handwriting recognition.

    Toggle your Touch Screen on and off easily.

    Forum member dant has wriiten a tiny application that resides in the System Tray.

    I am using it now and it makes MindManager a lot easier to use with my M700.

    Works with Vista.

      Inker - a TIP replacement?
     Posted by WNewquay On May 11 2008 At 12:29:16 AM
    ATOZED software has a product Inker in beta.

    Inker

    quote:
    What is Inker?
    Inker is a replacement for the Windows pen input system. Inker is more efficient to use and more customizable than TIP.

    Inker includes all of the functionality of TIP and more, however Inker and TIP can run side by side. Installing and using Inker does not disable or remove TIP, however we suggest you turn off the automatic pop up features of TIP.


    Inker uses the same writing recognition engine as TIP does, however Inker focuses on reducing pen clicks for input and corrections through a streamlined user interface. Inker is written in C# and WPF.



    I have loaded the latest build and it certainly looks interesting.

    Warning - I have found one incompatibility with the current build. It will not insert text properly if ActiveWords is running. Ouch.
