Welcome to episode 54 of the Tablet PC Show! We start this show with yet another apology for the lateness in getting it released. I was on vacation and then work and life just got in the way as they have a habit of doing. There has been a lot of news at and since CES and we jump right in…
News & Updates:
- The OQO Model 020 looks to be a very nice UMPC and a great update from the original, but the price is awfully high.
- The Toshiba R400’s “Edge View” is a good implementation of Microsoft’s SideView technology in Vista.
- TabletKiosk announced three new Sahara tablets at CES, including the fantastic i440D (which is hopefully my next tablet).
- Arima has a new UMPC as well, the UM650.
- How about Apple’s iPhone? Turns out it was originally going to be a Tablet PC.
- Microsoft released the Origami Experience, an upgrade to the Touch Pack for UMPCs.
- Imagine LAN has released version 2.0 of they synchronization utility UltraSync.
- Jello.Dashboard is a small, free implementation of the GTD methodology in Outlook.
- MindJet has released some tools for getting MindManager to work more closely with OneNote.
- Craig Pringle did an experiment with the Vista tablet functionality and a Wacom graphics pad.
- What would you say to an OQO embedded in a laptop, but removable? Too good to be true?
- Some UMPCs and tablets will run Vista, but not all Vista applications, like Movie Maker and DVD Maker. Is this an issue for you?
I recently upgraded the RAM in my tablet and saw a major performance boost. I also freed up many gigabytes of disk space and got a boost from that. If you’ve got an older device and are seeing performance issues, these would be my top two recommendations for speeding things up!
