Going Down in Tablet PC History

Wednesday, March 8th, 2006

All the appeals have failed. (See our last-ditch attempt at the Quebec Court of Appeals here.) The TC1100 has been abandoned by HP. We decided it was time to throw in our hats and admit defeat. All we can hope to do is write the history of this sorry course of events.

So the TC1100 got on a plane, flew across the Atlantic.  A little cappuccino in the new coach station at Heathrow to fortify us for our adventure.

And the TC1100 took its book proposal for "The betrayal of fantasy:  HP and the TC1200 that never was" to the venerable Oxford University Press.

But we didn’t get past the Security. 

The letter carrier didn’t seem phased by our antics.

Vista Speech Recognition gives more choices

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

Looks like a nice and very much improved feature in Vista. It seems you do not need to train the software recognition software as much as previous versions or other software. Microsoft has released a worthwhile clip here for you to watch. The speech recognition feature provides a tablet user like myself more choices for inputting data. I am not the greatest slate user when it comes to inputting text and this will give me another option. You can also do additional activities like surfing around and more. This really looks like a piece of cake and an exciting new feature.
