In this episode, you may first notice the improved audio quality. I’ve increased various sample rates and bit rates and changed up some of the tools I use to record the show and I can hear a big difference in the audio; hopefully you can, too.
I start this short episode with a shout-out to listener Lyle in Japan and to those listening to the show there and in Hawaii, Lyle’s home state (and my former home as well).
Then it’s on to the news and updates:
- I corrected something I had said in the last episode. Looks like the new Gateway Tablets will indeed have both a touch screen and an active digitizer.
- Toshiba announced, and then quickly changed, the prices on the new R400 tablet and wireless docking station. The verdict: $$$$ Not only that, but I can think of one wire even a wireless docking station is going to require…
- Do you use a docking station? If not, why not?
- Microsoft has released Microsoft Reader Optimized for Origami (say that three times fast), but it will work only on machines with the TouchPack installed. Regular Tablet PC users are out of luck.
- One of the coolest OneNote PowerToys released yet is the OneNote Web Exporter, which lets you pack up an entire OneNote notebook and turn it into a web site.
- OutlookLinker for MindManager replaces and enhances the built-in Outlook integration in MindManager. But like most software related to MindManager, it ain’t cheap.
- Loren Heiny looks at the iPhone and gets some ideas for the next UMPCs and I like where he’s going.

Wow, great audio quality. A lot better then before.

I was wondering about the C-140X having a touch screen. The first item in your link that mentions having a touch screen is actually the C-120X. I would really like the C-140X to have both, but I am just wondering how likely it actually is…

Kaycee, I’m going to do some digging and find out exactly what the deal is. I’ll report back in the next episode what I can find out.

Kaycee, I made some calls and have been told again that both the C-120 and C-140 tablets have both the active digitizer and the touch screen. My source could be wrong, of course, but unless I see proof otherwise, I’m inclined to believe him.
