1. Comment - Dell Says Rumors of Tablet PC Are Real

   (May 22, 2007 - 12:09 AM)

   Eventually, some technology like a tablet PC will replace the notebook. In 10 years my kids will remember the notebook I use today and laugh themselves silly. When the technology gets small enough, light enough, fast enough, with enough storage and enough bandwidth, and handwriting recognition software that works, notebooks like we have today will cease to exist. I spend my work day going from meeting to meeting to meeting. I would love to have a computer that could keep up with the way I take notes. As it is, I scribble notes and drawings on paper, using arrows to connect ideas and Xs to mark things as "bad." I've tried typing notes into OneNote or other such useless software, but the keyboard is just too limiting and too slow. It hinders my thinking. If there were a PC that could read my writing and transcribe it so that my notes were permanent, sharable, searchable, etc. it would save my employer thousands of dollars a year. And there must be millions of business people in my same situation. The tablet paradigm will come, and Dell may just help it happen.
