In this episode I cover a ton of new hardware announcements, some software news, some pros and cons of using tablets (according to other people) and some real-world examples of tablets being used by folks.
- Samsung continues to release details on the new Q1 Ultra UMPC, although some of them would seem to be contradictory.
- Samsung also may be releasing a new lower-end UMPC and one with a hybrid hard drive.
- Toshiba has announced some new data connectivity options for their R400 tablet.
- The Digital Cube i-Station G43 is billed as the “world’s smallest UMPC“. But is it any good?
- ASUS has announced a new UMPC. But what’s the deal with the screen?
- The Flybook V UMPC looks promising.
- TabletKiosk has the answer for those who tend to get rough with their UMPCs: The TuffTab v7112XT.
- HTC Shifts into the UMPC world.
- Fujitsu will offer flash-memory based drives on its tablets.
- Motion has announced the best slate tablet PC ever (in my not-so-humble opinion), the LE1700. But can I afford it?
- ClearContext has released version 3.1.0 of their IMS inbox management tool. Total Workday Control fans are going to love it.
- IBM has put Notes 8 into public beta. Long time Outlook users will recognize most of the new features.
- Josh Eisntein (of TEO fame) has release the OneNote Calendar.
- Has Toshiba really released Windows Vista drivers for the M200 tablets? Looks that way…
- Is motion-sensing the next great input method for tablets?
- Five benefits of Tablet PCs, according to Toshiba. (Email me for a copy of the PDF.)
- Six reasons not to buy tablets, according to TechWorld (and I get more than a little animated discussing this
craparticle). - And finally, some real-word folks using tablets, including a math teacher and a physical therapist.

Perry – thanks for announcing ClearContext v3.1.0. One thing to note for Tablet PC users – in v3.1.0 we fixed a small conflict between TEO and IMS v3. Thanks to Josh Einstein at TEO for isolating the issue.
