I personally can't wait until H___ freezes over...
which is when apple will release a tablet PC at a
price point that will make it viable for the only
market that will ensure it's success, the 20 million
post secondary students that can now purchase most, if
not all of their textbooks online in e-format. It
escapes many that this is the most applicable use for
a tablet, and the fact that texts are now available in
e-format is the key for this working.
Microsoft has found pretty much any and every way to
screw up marketing tablet PC's with the death-nell for
their once noble effort, OneNote, hampered by it's
attached printer driver not working on many 64bit
systems.
The irony of this is lost on many, but here's the
chuckle; Microsoft released bloated Vista, which made
people switch to 64bit systems so that they could
utilize more ram, but now by cutting OneNote's
usefulness by half, with a broken printer driver,
because it doesn't work with 64 bit systems, they have
given the education market yet another reason to not
upgrade. LOL.
And so, my pilot project at my university to introduce
and test efficacy of tablet Pc's is now on hold, until
MS can fix their brain fart, or someone else releases
a tablet running on an OS that works...
