There may be hope left James….

This morning I saw a post by James Kendrick from jkOnTheRun where he said: It’s official- Tablet PC is just a feature of Windows. James, who BTW, got me excited about getting my first Tablet PC, said this morning that “It is with sadness I have watched Microsoft pull back from the Tablet PC publicly. In the early days the Tablet PC was a viable product that Redmond touted proudly as it was Bill Gates’ baby.”

James was dismayed that as he “trolled through the site looking for any mention of the Tablet PC” and could not find anything and you could tell from his writing that he was definitely disappointed if not starting a bout of depression. It got me to think twice about whether or not I want that new tablet … well I still do and I’m looking for my next tablet. But then as I scanned my feeds I saw this piece by Matt Faulkner from GottaBeMobile where he posted a piece about the Tuscaloosa Academy switching some students over to Tablet PCs for their learning. After 35 years in education I know how a budget is impacted by the price of text books and it makes great sense to have students use tablets for a variety of reasons.

It is an interesting piece so check out the article here. Will they have difficulty? Probably but the issues that they might experience will easily be overcome …. there is still life in Tablets James! This is just ONE AREA that we will see growth in tablets and more will follow.
