In this episode, we have my experiences using my Tablet PC at the HP Software Universe conference in Las Vegas, my thoughts on the new iPhone (and how it relates to Tablet PCs), and the lowdown on the gadget I just bought instead of an iPhone…

Next, I finish my talk about mind mapping software, including:

• Gyronix GyroQ for MindManager
• Gyronix ResultsManager for MindManager
• JCV Gantt for MindManager
• MindApp
• Personal Brain 4.0

Then, I revisit how well Windows Vista is running on my M200 and note the problems I’m seeing (and that you might see as well).

Finally, the news:

• Raon Digital has released pricing for the new Everun UMPC. Pretty inexpensive, but the performance numbers leave something to be desired.
• Gateway has formally announced their new E-295C/C-140 Tablet PC.
• Motion Computing will be adding HSDPA to the LE1700 slates.
• Will the HTC Shift really run both Windows Vista and Windows Mobile 6? Is this the second coming of the DualCor CPc?
• Toshiba has an interesting feature planned for their Portege G900 Windows Mobile Phone. The Teleport Remote Keypad may make the phone the perfect companion for your UMPC.
• Would you skip on a touch screen if you could get a mobile device that cost only $199? Asus thinks you might.
• Palm isn’t going it alone with the Foleo. Astraware and MotionApps are on board with applications for the “sidekick” device.
• Don’t care for the TIP? How about trying the SpeedScript text input program? It’s free for a year.
• The Microsoft Outlook Connector for Windows Live Mail lets you access your Windows Live Mail or Hotmail account from Outlook, and you no longer need a paid account to do it.
• There are a couple of new OneNote PowerToys available: Search and Replace and Send to Mobile Device.
• Did you know that you can insert tables in Microsoft Word 2007 using only the keyboard?
• If you’re having troubles with Windows Live Writer, Microsoft may have your solution.
• So what podcasts are you listening to?
