"Microsoft Corp.'s Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
2005—the first major upgrade to the Tablet PC
operating system—provides enough enhancements
to entice some new converts. The update also will
tide over current fans and developers until the release
of a "Longhorn" version for Tablet PCs—or
whatever Microsoft has planned for the Tablet operating
system on the company's long and often-winding product
road map.
eWEEK Labs' tests show that Tablet PC Edition 2005
dramatically improves on the initial release's handwriting-recognition
capabilities and makes the overall Tablet PC experience
more satisfying. However, enterprises evaluating Tablet
PCs as possible notebook replacements should wait
until Microsoft clarifies its plans for the operating
system."(source:eweek.com)

The
Tablet: Big Machine on Campus? |
| "Microsoft
and Thomson Learning hope that a giveaway of the nifty
notebooks will spark demand among students -- and
teachers
This September, some University of Virginia students
will be lugging more than course outlines, gargantuan
textbooks, and standard laptops. Tucked away in their
backpacks, 425 students of biochemistry, psychology,
or statistics will have a new, free Tablet PC, courtesy
of Microsoft (MSFT ) and Thomson Learning (TOC ).
The school believes the compact, portable PC, which
is about the size of a typical spiral notebook, will
add a new dimension to the classroom. The Tablet will
let professors enliven lectures with digital extras
and enable students to scrawl notes and draw diagrams
while watching 3-D molecules split -- all with the
touch of a stylus. "(source:businessweek.com)

Twinhead
T8 ruggedized Tablet PC |
"Taiwan
has become the manufacturing base for the world’s
notebook industry over the last few years and the
country now produces more than half of the world’s
output. However, few local industry players have
made the demanding move in to industrial-use solutions.
Twinhead has broken through the technology barriers
and released its first fully-tested, industrial-use
solution this year. Industrial notebooks require
distinctive features such as waterproofing and shock
resistance. Twinhead has implemented these features
into its new T8 Tablet PC. This model has successfully
passed shock, vibration, humidity, temperature,
water immersion and dust exposure tests. The T8
conforms to military standards (MIL-STD-810) and
is equipped with Billinton Bluetooth and Airvast
802.11b wireless modules."
