Oh, I would love a Deli, and an Apple with large Jamoka Shake. Does it come with Curlie Fries? MMMMMMMMMMMM.

The above may seem like a stupid responce, but asking a technical person if he would buy something without any specifications........ Are you mad?

Tablet PCs are Kewl

When I took a class last semester, I used my laptop quite a bit but not during class. Just not practical. However, a classmate had a tablet PC that he used as a laptop when needed PLUS he used it every day for taking notes in class.

I was very impressed--WAY more functional for notetaking due to the extra screen real-estate, easy to save, erase, copy, email, etc. Even though a tablet PC is obviously bigger and heavier than an Axim, the tablet is still very handy due to the intuitive use of the touch screen, PLUS you can run any windows program you like on it, any peripheral you want is supported, you can upgrade the memory and disk space (within limits), you don't have to convert documents to pocketPC format, watching movies and playing games is just that much better for the bigger screen, and best of all--no f*in Activesync to deal with!! :approve:

The disadvantage would be the device doesn't fit easily in your pocket or purse, oh, and also startup time, but if they could make it wake up comparably fast to turning the screen on your Axim, that would be awesome.

So I would have to say, yeah buddy, I would want in on that action. I love my Axim(s) but I'm just really tired of memory limitations, losing data (my fault or otherwise) and especially nagging Activesync problems. I think a device that could eliminate those problems would more than compensate for disadvantages with size/weight and startup time. For certain situations (like note taking at the office or in a classroom) I think I would like it much better than pocketPC.

It really depends on the price. Besides, I think my next toy is one of the data phones. :p

If they were cheap and I wanted one just for the sake of having another gadget.

I would buy a "Dellie" quicker than the media can attack Nick Saban.

Is that Dellie, or Deli, or Dehli? Oh, wait...no, that last one is just for support!

Sorry, yes, I would buy if the price were right and the proper functions included. It would be far more practical for me in the field than a full blown laptop.

Probably not, thats what my PDA is for.

It would be interesting to try photoshop or illustrator on a tablet pc, I wonder if it would be effective for drawing with, like a wacom graphics tablet.

Regardless of whichever brand, I will only buy a tablet PC provided it is affordable and offers the required features.
