It shows a lovely picture of the mythical iSlate - Cool!!
(Apologies if this is a duplicate of one of the earlier links posted - I'm having a bad computer day and those links won't open for me). |
Looking at the dimensions of the image, it still looks like a very narrow screen like the Archos 9. I have the Archos 9 and while it works reasonably well, I really would prefer a tablet PC in dimensions similar to that of an A4 note pad. Whatever tablet PC I end up using into the future, it would need to run a windows operating system to be compatible with all other computer platforms I use, especially those at work whcih will never move away form a windows environment.
At the moment I am experimenting with the hand writing recognition software of Windows 2007 Ultimate on the Archos 9. This may work well for making case notes as well as taking notes during lectures, but need s a bit more testing before I commit to this. Will Mac do this better, perhaps, but would not be able to then translate text to a Windows based operating system.
The Archos works well for reading a novel or heavily illustrated maunal such as those I use for photography.
For PDF's where I need to make notes on documents I continue to use my Irex DRS.
