Anyway, ShutDownDay.org is all about finding out if you could live without your computer for a single day and creating a worldwide experiment to find out. Want to give it [...]
It is always interesting to see our favorite devices being shown in national broadcasts. We have all talked many times about spotting Tablet PC’s, etc. on TV, but it is even more exciting when we at GottaBeMobile are able to help influence the presence of a device! Let me explain.

This isn’t really Tablet PC related, but I did Windows Update on my x60t and what did I find?? Windows DreamScene is in “Preview” mode if you have Windows Ultimate! I just started to play around with it and things look really cool! From what I have read, they are holding back on the really [...]
Check out this ‘made for the military’ dual screen ‘touch’ mobile computer. Very interesting design and specs on the 2-VU.

Here is a picture and some specs from Estari: Dual 15″ XGA Color TFT Active Matrix Display (1024 x [...]

GottaBeMobile.com is putting someone in serious “Motion”! Well, we mentioned a BIGGIE contest, and trust me, this one IS big!!! But it is also small – but wait, don’t get confused quite yet. How about getting in “Motion” with a Motion Computing LS800 Ultra Mobile Tablet PC? In a partnership to help us launch [...]
Not a fully functioning Tablet PC, but this is a really cool ‘ink’ device. Take a look at the Aiptek My Note Digital Notepad. Write up to 135 pages of notes (you can expand this via SD card) on this ‘clipboard’. Most interesting to me is that you can take notes for up to 20 hours on 5 AAA [...]

-Dennis Rice Getting the opportunity to do these reviews is great, and a ton of fun (but man does it take time!). Hehe, I even filmed the FedEx lady delivering the thing.

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.
