The quest for a viable tablet PC
I owned the original Newton MessagePad 100 and the MessagePad 120 with the flip lid. Later, an employer issued me a MessagePad 2000.
Those devices, for the era, were absolutely awesome. The handwriting recognition was remarkably good and the interface was a breakthrough.
Right now, I'm waiting for Apple's take on the tablet next year, supposedly an overgrown iPhone. Pair that with a Bluetooth keyboard and I will pony up the credit card quite readily. Mobile computing between full laptop and iPhone would be awesome. I might never travel with a full laptop again, depending upon the feature set.
