Today at PDC2008 we’re going to see info about Windows 7 rolled out and we’ve known for some time now that adding multi-touch capability to Windows 7 was going to be part of the package. That’s great but the question that is asked most often is what applications are going to take advantage of multi-touch? [...]
Looks like the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 wants to contend with the MacBook Air for thin and light status. It certainly knocks the heck out of it on the price front with a $600 pricetag. That said, we’re not seeing all the specs yet, but word is popping out all over on this Sunday about [...]
Akihabara News is getting a look at what Fujitsu is planning for its next round of Tablet PCs and is sharing some pictures. I’m not sure what the number/naming conventions mean at this point, or how they relate to existing Fuji Tablet PCs, but what AN is showing off includes: The FMV-TB15/B, is a slate [...]
I’m glad no one is putting a gun to my head and forcing me to choose between these two Tablet PCs. I have been so lucky to have had the opportunity to evaluate the Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Tablet PC and the HP 2730p Elitebook Tablet PC side by side these last several weeks. I’ve shared [...]

Let’s just say that Lenovo continues to get it right with Tablet PCs, and that the Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Tablet PC is a real winner and call it a day. The reason? It is a winner. Oh, all right, I’ll go ahead and do the review because while I am enthusiastic about the X200 there [...]
In many ways, the Dell Latitude XT Tablet PC has become one of my favorite Tablet PCs. It is very thin, light, has ample room on the wrist pad for typing, has a scroll wheel, and is generally pleasant to use in portrait mode. It goes to sleep and resumes very quickly. It is also [...]

I’m not a big fan of benchmarks because it is almost impossible to fairly compare two different units together. Such is the case the with the Lenovo X200 Tablet PC and the Dell Latitude XT Tablet PC. However, because we have many readers who thrive on such benchmarks, I’ve run CrystalMark on both units. Keep [...]
One of the first things I want to see on a tablet pc is how far the sd card sticks out. I know it sounds like a strange thing to be worried about, but when I’m using a tablet pc in portrait mode, it frustrates me a lot when the sd card sticks out, making [...]
I was browsing Fujitsu’s site today for updated drivers for my T2010 when I saw the T2010′s update. Fujitsu’s predictable nomenclature scheme was used and the update was aptly named the Lifebook T2020. Unfortunately, Fujitsu didn’t really do much in terms of updates and upgrades. The difference between the T2010 and the T2020 revolves around [...]

In addition, they’ve introduced three and four finger gesture support. Here is Apple’s explanation on how the new multi-touch trackpad works: The amazing [...]

Pens are one of those personal things — either an OEM got it right or they totally messed it up. Fortunately, if your tablet pc uses a Wacom digitizer, there are plenty of pens to choose from if you don’t like the one that came with your system. Unfortunately, the only one that will fit [...]
Ok, I have to get this off my chest — I’ve had it with inking in Evernote — it is laggy, recognition is poor, it doesn’t support mixing ink and text, and the pen icons are very aggravating to the eye while writing a note. There, I said it. I feel much better now. I [...]

Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop. Thus, it had several full-size ports, a rugged-ish exterior, and a thick chassis to accommodate both. Though a decent tablet, the Thrive didn’t generate [...]

That doesn’t mean that Samsung is shying away [...]
