Elizabeth Lane Lawley plays with a Tablet PC:
Posted by DeLong at May 5, 2004 09:29 AM | TrackBack | | Other weblogs commenting on this postmamamusings: tablet pc: first thoughts: ...less than two weeks after I arrived back in Rochester, a Toshiba Portégé showed up in my office.... The tablet-specific features of the operating environment are really very slick. I particularly like the Zinio magazine reading software, which lets me read a variety of magazines (purchased one copy at a time, or via subscription) on the screen, and allows me to annotate the pages as I go. Very nice implementation, and ideal for reading on the go. Microsoft OneNote, the notepad-like environment for taking ink-based notes, shows promise, but it still feels clunky to me. Making sense of folders, sections, pages, etc is less than transparent, and I’m having trouble finding things I’ve created. The handwriting recognition, as promised, is remarkably good....
I’m less than impressed with this particular TabletPC…it’s much too small.... It’s the cramped keyboard, the almost unreadable screen resolution (I’m getting old, but not that old!), and the oddly placed trackpad and mouse buttons, which are constantly forcing my hands into uncomfortable positions. ... The system has no external drives.... From what I can tell, however, other vendors (Dell, Gateway, HP, etc) have much better Tablet hardware implementations.
From an OS standpoint, all the reasons that I’m glad my primary machine [is a Mac] were reinforced in the first few days. I opened up the computer, and tested the network connection by going to a few web sites (including the RIT computer registration site, so I could get on the local network). Then, being the responsible citizen that I am, I downloaded all availalble Windows updates (that took about an hour to download and install), VirusScan software (another half hour), and AdAware. On its first run—only two hours after I set up the machine—VirusScan found three different worms on my system. AdAware found seven pieces of suspect software/spyware. Argh! To add insult to injury, two days after I’d gone through this process, Microsoft released a series of new critical Windows security updates, and RIT barred me from their network until I’d downloaded and installed them. But the Microsoft site was so overwhelmed that it took me half the day to get the stupid updates....
[P]ositive stuff. I was indeed able to grade design documents in the way that I had hoped, though my understanding is that students without tablets won’t see the ink in the native Word doc—I’ve still got to test that. However, I believe I can dump the Word docs into either Windows Journal or PDF format and still deliver electronic versions of the graded documents to students. I’m also finding that while I hate the built-in trackpad, I love the stylus. It’s wonderful for selecting text on the screen, navigating interfaces, and even playing games.... With a better screen, keyboard, and stylus, I’d probably be more impressed. But the potential is definitely there, and I’m going to continue to play around with features and functions over the summer when I have a little more time to explore."
Agree with most of this - I've had a Toshiba T3500 for about 6 months, and it is a good machine, but the software for the tablet part is still rather clunky - not as well integrated into the Office pack as could be desired. Plus, I have had some hardware problems (sudden shutdowns) which I have not had with other Toshibas before (and yes, I have checked for the Sasser worm....).
But the potential is there - for instance, I would love a pen-enabled version of Powerpoint, to easily make electronic drawings to illustrate talks.
Posted by: Espen on May 5, 2004 12:00 PMCharlie Stross had the idea for a pure tablet PC. The screen would be permanently mounted to the body, hopefully giving it a lot of sturdiness. The primary interface would be the stylus. A [wireless or wired] keyboard could be plugged in when and if needed, but most of the time it'd be a single 'block'.
Hopefully this would be somewhat cheaper, and a whole lot tougher, than a two-piece folding/swiveling PC.
