Unconfirmed numbers are that Apple has pre-sold northwards of 120,000 iPads. During the buying frenzy, other OEMs are watching closely, as are those who just wouldn’t go near an Apple product if you gave them one, hoping that other Tablets/slates will emerge and offer embraceable Tablet goodness. Some are questioning their own sanity for jumping [...]
Everyone is justifiably excited by Courier, the new Tablet concept that is all over the Internet. As we, and many others have pointed out this looks like it sprang from the mind of Ken Hinckley of Microsoft Research and his Codex project, featuring two OQO’s bound together by a case. Ken is famous in Tablet [...]

Newly annointed Tabet PC MVP Mark Sumocat Sumimoto has a great post detailing how he uses aspects of two Tablet PC applications to create his ideal toolbar. Using the macro functionality of RitePen 3.0 and the scroll ring from InkSeine, Sumocat says he’s able to access anything he needs to on his Tablet PC with [...]
I love to break away sometimes and just write for the sake of writing. Sometimes I’ll bring my tablet along, other times I’ll bring a Moleskine. It just depends on how much I need to break away from technology to do some different kind of writing. When journaling with my Tablet PC, I’ll frequently use [...]
InkSeine continues to garner a lot of attention in the GBM Forums, and rightly so in my opinion. GBM Forum member JasonJ points out that not only does InkSeine’s interface offer you some very interesting options for note taking, searching, and Internet browsing, but you can also use it as an application launcher.

Ken Hinckley just let us know that version 1.1.425 of InkSeine has been released. Ken has all the details on the new release, but I’ve listed them here as a summary.

It is an Inking morning it seems. Brian_FS has posted up an image of his Desktop using a combination of the Ink Desktop from Microsoft and the Scroll Control from InkSeine. Very interesting. Tags: InkSeine, Ink+Desktop

Ken has put up some Notebook templates for InkSeine over on his site. This will be a great addition to the ‘grid’ background. There are even instructions on how to create your own! I think a thread in the forums for everyone to share their work might be in order. Get your creative juices flowing!! [...]
This will be cool. Ken Hinckley blogs that they are working on adding rotation to InkSeine, the best Tablet PC Inking application we’ve seen in some time. I say bring it on, Ken! Check out what Ken has to say here. Tags: InkSeine
If you’re like me (and a number of InkSeine users) one of my favorite features of this great pen enabled application is the Floating Tool Ring. It allows you to scroll easily with the pen, or grab a snapshot of information. Well, guess what? Apparently you don’t need to have InkSeine running to take advantage of [...]
The updated version of InkSeine that I posted about last week is now live. The main reason for the update was because of a localization issue: The worst symptom of this bug is that some users who use non-American ways to write decimal numbers or dates are unable to load InkSeine notes that they have [...]
For those of you that are out of the US and having some localization problems in InkSeine… The fix is on it’s way. The main symptoms of this bug are that Copy/Paste, Undo/Redo, loading the tutorial, and loading files that had been saved will not work. Also, there are some other fixes that were smashed [...]

Many folks are anxiously awaiting InkSeine’s public release on Friday, February 15th. Although InkSeine is a fantastic ink note-taking application, it’s worth noting that InkSeine is not perfect and does have its limitations.

If you have not followed his entire series, be sure to track back through his posts to read them all. Whether you choose to use InkSeine or not for your notetaking, they are good idea generators for implementing [...]
In my InkShow video review of InkSeine, I showed how ink copied and pasted between InkSeine and OneNote resulted in images, and not ink. Word from Ken Hinckley tonight indicates he might have that issue licked in time for the public release. Great work, Ken! Follow the InkSeine / OneNote discussion in our forums. [...]
"To seine is to fish with a net. To fish for results from ink is not insane, but rather InkSeine!" What a great definition for this prototype note-taking application being released by Microsoft Research. InkSeine is a Tablet PC note-taking application designed and built from ground up around the pen, with the ability to easily [...]
If you are like a lot of people, when you get stuck in a meeting, your hand begins drawing all sorts of doodles instead of actual notes. I know I do it, and Microsoft Research’s Ken Hinckley does it, too. Personally, I think it is a sign of great intelligence :-) Ken’s even come up [...]

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 [...]

The story though, just serves [...]
