Welcome to episode 39 of the Tablet PC Show! We have a special guest co-host this week, listener and Tablet PC enthusiast Neema Saeedi from Vancouver, B.C.

News and Updates:

• Slingbox has released a new skin for their Slingplayer media player specifically for Origami devices.
• Canova has shown off a device concept with two touch screens.
• CreateDigitalMusic.com writes of two pieces of software designed for creating music with a pen on a tablet. They’re written for Wacom graphics pads but work on most Tablet PCs.
• Is Dell going to release a UMPC? Yes, and by the end of the year, according to a source at Ultranauts.com
• Ross Rubin, writing at Engadget, believes that Microsoft should create the “PC 3.0″, a “social computer” that would be entirely made of Microsoft products; hardware and software.

After the news, Neema and I continue the discussion I started last week about the relative merits of Macs versus PCs. Neema is a long time Mac user and brings his experience to the discussion.

Having both recently purchased new Tablet PCs (a Toshiba M200 in both cases) we next talk about the decision process when trying to choose a new tablet. Features, size, and of course, budget all come into play.
