Welcome to episode 56 of the Tablet PC Show! Like the last episode, I don’t waste any time jumping into…

News & Updates:

• Tim Heuer’s Foxit PDF Previewer lets you preview PDF files from within Outlook 2007 or Windows Vista Explorer. But it works only on Vista.
• The Canovo Dual-touch “Superslate” puts two screens on a clamshell device. No real keyboard, but a very cool idea.
• There’s yet another OneNote PowerToy, and this one lets you sort your notebook sections alphabetically.
• Amtek’s new UMPC is being called the “Vistagami” with good reason.
• Vulcan has finally released the FlipStart. But is it really a UMPC?
• Samsung’s is showing off the very slick Q1 Ultra (aka Q2). I want one!
• Samsung is also shipping ReadyDrive hybrid hard drives to OEMs. Just what every tablet needs.
• Bluetooth 2.1 will include an optional “near-field communications” feature.
• Another OneNote PowerToy: This one lets you set sections of your notebook as read-only.
• GottaBeMobile is giving away a DocuPen Scanner Executive Kit. I tell you how to win it.
• Engadget writes about EyePoint eye-tracking software which supposedly greatly improves on previous attempts at vision input, that is, controlling a computer with your eyes. Would this be a good input method for tablets?

San Jose Sharks assistant coach Tim Hunter uses a Tablet PC during each Sharks hockey game. I talk about how he uses it.
