Tablet PCs revisited
Saturday, March 11th, 2006Anyone remembers Tablet PCs? You know, that small PCs that look like big notepads (or books) and can be used with a pen. Well, there was much hype 2-4 years ago for those little machines - however, they were too big, too heavy and very expensive.
Now, Microsoft has resurrected the tablet PCs with the Origami Project. It looks like a cut-down PC or a big Playstation Portable (PSP). Could this be MS’s response to the successful Sony PSP? I dunno… However, if they pack it with useful software - and not just beautiful or innovative software - and sell at an affordable price - for God’s shake, 1000$ is too much guys - it could possibly find a place in many homes and replace some ordinary PCs or laptops.
And maybe give some specs out and see real innovation with Linux, XGL and some other really interesting open-source projects.
