Shaun Kenney | Politics and Religion in Virginia's Public Square


Wednesday, September 07, 2005 Back to the Future Anyone remember (or currently own) those MS Tablet laptops? You know the ones where you could take a pen and draw on the screen as you would a simple pen and paper, but costs $2,000 more? Well, it seems as if the typewriter is making a comeback of sorts, and not just for pure nostalgia: 'It just seems like the computer and printer are too much of an intermediary between me and my writings,' said Pospisil, of Los Altos, Calif. How true. posted by Shaun Kenney \| 9/07/2005 06:36:00 AM \| 4 comments 4 Comments: At 10:13 AM, Dan Guy said... Lori and I both have TabletPCs. They're not about being able to draw, they're about having a full-powered computer that you can carry easily and use while walking, sitting outside watching the kids, or crashed out on the couch surfing the web while flipping channels without the need for a keyboard.

Many of the Pocket PCs come with the technology. It's useful to a certain extent, but $2K for what looks like a pad and pen has always been the criticism of the tablet PCs. This always reminds me of Austin Powers, where the stuff he has in the 1960s is better than the stuff he gets in the 1990s (e.g. the television intercom vs. the webcam)... At 1:01 PM, Dan Guy said... Pocket PCs have smaller screens and a limited software selection. A TabletPC can do anything a desktop can and more; I'm never buying a desktop or a laptop again. Post a Comment Home
