Sound Recorders for the Tablet PC By Bill Mann
We've received
some helpful feedback from readers in reply to my question about sound
recorders that work well on the Tablet PC and can record long sound segments.
Matthew
Green uses the PolderbitS Sound Recorder and Editor. He reports that
the program recently received a major upgrade, with the ability to record
in a variety of formats, including MP3. Get more info on PolderbitS
Sound Recorder and Editor at: http://www.polderbits.com/
Stephan
Hodges uses Total Recorder for his sound recordings. He reports that
the software will record into WAV, MP3, and OGG (a lossless format)
at up to CD quality. Get more info on Total Recorder at: http://www.highcriteria.com/
Rich Bilancia
uses the Windows Media 9 Encoder configured with a "Custom Session"
that records from the built-in microphone on his TC1000 tablet. He has
the custom session on his desktop so all he has to do is start the session
and enter a filename for this particular recording session. As Rich
put it, "It works for me, it's free, and it's all from Microsoft." If
you're interested in more details on this approach, email me. If there's
enough interest, maybe Rich can provide us with more details on this
approach. Get more info on Windows Media 9 Encoder at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/encoder/default.aspx
Thank you
to each of you who provided information.

Tom Bihn Brain Cell Protect your brain, err... your Tablet PC July 31st, 2003
Welcome to
our newest newsletter feature, the review of the week! Each week at least
one hardware, software, or accessory review will be posted on the site,
as well as here in the newsletter. We hope you enjoy this new feature!
This week's
review - The Tom Bihn Brain Cell bag/carrying case. In this review - Spencer
tries out the Brain Cell in a little more of a real life situation than
he wanted (he drops it...). He finds out that the bag has very thick padding
for protection against those type of situations, and he appears to be
very pleased with it overall. The "Buzz Meter" for this week's
review comes in at a 4.5... Nice job by Tom Bihn on this bag! Check out
the full review by clicking

News Story of the Week
British Gas gets 850
Panasonic CF-18’s
By Christopher Coulter
Big win for
Panasonic, 850 Rugged Tablet PCs to British Gas for an inital deployment,
with 8,000 more planned in the roll-out. The article references Tablet
PCs as “notebooks”, but with the speedy 1.5GHz Centrino that the Panasonic
sports, the day is fast coming when you won’t be able to tell the difference.
Tablet PCs will be a notebook. Notebooks will be Tablet PCs.
“Intel
has today announced a major deal with British Gas to equip 850 British
Gas service engineers with Panasonic CF18 notebooks...For British Gas
engineers, their Centrino-powered notebook acts as a mobile office. Their
job includes visiting residential properties to diagnose and repair faults
from a vast portfolio of over 8,000 different gas appliances using product
data and diagnosis tools stored in the PC. As a result, unique demands
are placed on their mobile computers.” (Link)
