OnTheRun with Tablet PCs #19

- Rob Bushway

James Kendrick and Marc Orchant just posted the latest edition of OnTheRun with Tablet PCs. Pretty good show as they talk about Office 2007, TabletKiosk’s eo, and the video reviews I posted last week.  Marc defends his “gadget turf” as he talks about my M280 review and tells me I might need to start working out if I find the M280 too heavy. Good stuff.

Just to be clear – I’ve owned the M280 since October 2005 and feel like I know the tablet pretty well, reception to it from others who have used it and reception to it from demos to my customers. My wife has used it, my son has used it, my mother-in-law owns one, and I’ve tried using as my sole computer. My review was based on actual, real, long term usage. The good thing about this market is that we are beginning to see a lot of choices to fit working needs. As I indicated in the review, if you need a wide screen tablet, you don’t need to look any further.

Next up on the review list – either the X41 Tablet PC or the eo umpc. If we get the prototype, that James had, in this week, then I’ll bump the X41 to next week.

Rob: Of course the one thing you and I will always agree on is that more choices are better. Having so many options between Gateway's "monster" and the soon-to-be-released UMPC devices is a very, very good sign for the Tablet space. I also agree that the "monster" is definitely not the best choice for highly mobile students and business folk.

The only thing I take issue with is the chracterization of the Gateway as a "poor" Tablet simply because it's big.

Keep up your excellent work on these reviews. Your growing library of videos is an excellent resource for people considering an ink-enabled solution.
