Announcing TabletGoo.com - The Tablet PC Search Engine!

Ever since Google announced the Search Engine co-op program, I've been wanting to spend some time with it and see how powerful it really is. I've created several personal search engines over the past few weeks, and have been very pleased with the results, and the ability to narrow my searches to specific sites on the interweb.This past weekend, I finally made the time to throw together a search engine focused on Tablet PCs and Mobile Computing. Today I present TabletGoo.com - the one stop search tool to find anything Tablet PC related from you favorite Tablet PC web sites and blogs. Yes, it is REALLY hard finding good domain names, but it is fun to say, and will grow on you, promise! :-)I've got many other features I'll be adding to TabletGoo.com over the next several weeks that will make web surfing on a Tablet PC a MUCH MUCH easier experience - so bookmark it, and stay tuned and check back often!Note: I've added the Tablet PC/Mobile sites from my bookmarks, RSS feeds, etc... but I am sure I have missed plenty. So if you have a favorite Tablet/Mobile site that is not showing up in searches here, please contact me and I'll get it added to the engine right away (Source: Ed Holloway Blog)

Digital-signature innovation to bolster

When was the last time a sales assistant flicked your credit card over to check whether your scribbling on the sales invoice corresponds with your reference signature on the back? Unable to remember? That’s because it rarely happens anymore.

However, a newly-established local arm of an Austrian IT company hopes to change this rather lax security by turning the signature process into a fully digital operation.

This would mean a retail client would be asked to sign on a tablet PC, which can then be verified instantly and cross-referenced electronically with a reference signature in any bank’s database.  (Source: Irma Venter, Engineering News)

US Army Developing RFID System to Track Weapons Usage

With the Augusta Systems solution, an operator can access the weapon-firing count on a tablet PC inside the vehicle. The tablet includes an RFID reader, and its data can be downloaded by Army personnel to keep a record of the weapon's firing history.

When a vehicle operator prepares the weapon for firing, the reader automatically sends an RF signal energizing the passive RFID tag, which transmits its unique RFID number and a count of each time the weapon has been fired. Several frequencies may be tested with this system; the air-interface protocol has not yet been determined.

The tablet PC will include integrated data storage, communications and display technologies. The MEMS will incorporate an RFID tag and a low-power microprocessor with limited memory, which would continue to record rounds fired even if the rest of the system were to fail.

Inking on Video InkShow

Have you ever watched John Madden doing his football analysis, inking all over the players, marking playing routes and wished you could do that on your Tablet PC? Well, your wait could almost be over.

During Mobile Connections, Microsoft's Stefan Wick demoed a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application that showed how Tablet PC users could ink on a video. Even better, during the Hands-On Lab, developers got to work on the same code and do it themselves.

During my session at the Hands-On-Lab, I shot this video so you could see if for yourself. The implications of being able to ink on the video and have the ink play back in real time, in sync with the video are great. Imagine marking up a video with your kids handwriting, and then sending it to Grandma and Grandpa with a special handwritten note. What about the lawyer or doctor with video of an EEG and wants to write on the video, marking critical areas, and then sends the video off to a colleague across the country with the important parts marked and circled, notes made, and played back in real time with the video. In addition to marking up is the ability to have that ink searchable through attributes stored with the video, on your desktop, on the web, etc! The possibilities are endless.

Remember that this app is a prototype  and not fully developed - but it shows the promise. All it needs are developers to take the app and finish it off, develop some products around it, or integrate into some other applications. Developers, look for this sample code to be made available soon on msdn.com/mobilepc . I will post an article when all the sample code from Mobile Connections becomes available for download.  (Source: Rob Bushway, GottaBeMobile)

Will Windows Vista be worth the wait?

Upgrading over an existing installation is a little more problematic, especially on notebooks and offbeat hardware. My upgrade experience with a top-of-the-line Acer Tablet PC has been problematic for months, and the final build fails with a Blue Screen of Death, thanks to a conflict with the onboard Realtek sound circuitry. A clean setup works better, but is still far from perfect. Similarly, trying to set up Windows Vista on a Shuttle small-form-factor PC - as a clean setup or an upgrade - fails every time. (Microsoft says they're unable to reproduce the problem on a similar system.)  (Source: Ed Bott, ZDNet)

Q&A: Windows Vista Released to Manufacturing

As Windows Vista hits the Release to Manufacturing milestone, Microsoft looks back at what it took to build the most heavily tested, highest quality and most secure operating system in the company’s history.

As Windows Vista is released to manufacturing (RTM) today — a significant milestone for Microsoft and its partners — anticipation is building around that all-important question: How good is it really?

Microsoft says Windows Vista is its most heavily tested operating system ever, with deep investments made to ensure greater security, reliability and usability. But after all the time, expense and effort to get it right, does Windows Vista meet the quality bar? For answers to this and other questions about the quality of Windows Vista, PressPass spoke with Sven Hallauer, release manager and director of program management at Microsoft.   (Source: Press Release)

Lifestyle application demo Software InkShow

When the Origami / Ultra Mobile PC was announced in March 2006, one of driving messages was that of a Lifestyle device - one that you wouldn't want to leave home without. Well, Lifestyle devices are great, but if there are not any Lifestyle applications to run on it, the UMPC will likely stay home.

Lifestyle applications are those, as defined by Microsoft's Todd Lanstad, as being task driven, add value when away from the desk, and are optimized forinternet connectivity. Well, Microsoft has developed a series of sample Lifestyle applications to help developers identify some needs, and also give them some building blocks to create their own Lifestyle applications. These applications and sample code will soon be available on msdn.com/mobilepc and include a UMPC friendly media player app, an inkable photo tagging library app, inkable Virtual Earth app, and more. My favorite is the inkable photo tagging library which allows you to ink on top of a picture, which then makes the ink on that picture searchable by the application, Windows Desktop Search, and searchable by the folks you send that picture to.  (Source: Rob Bushway, GottaBeMobile)

Fujitsu Boosts Performance on LifeBook Convertible Notebooks, Maximizing Mobile Workforce Productivity

On-the-Go and in Any Lighting Condition, the LifeBook P1610 Convertible Notebook Delivers Unsurpassed Versatility With Indoor/Outdoor Touch Screen Display

SUNNYVALE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 07, 2006 -- Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation today announced the LifeBook® P1610 convertible notebook, a 2.2-pound powerhouse packed with full PC functionality and enhanced with an 8.9-inch indoor/outdoor touch screen display for on-your-feet, on-the-go computing. Fujitsu also announced the LifeBook T4215 Tablet PC, a new edition of its highly popular ultra-light 4.3 pound full-size convertible notebook featuring the high-performance, power-efficient Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor.

The Microsoft Windows Vista-capable LifeBook P1610 and LifeBook T4215 convertible notebooks, which deliver renowned Fujitsu reliability, are designed to meet the needs of mobile and field professionals in healthcare, field and sales force automation, and supply chain management who require the flexibility of a tablet for note-taking or navigating through forms-based applications, along with the traditional keyboard input of a notebook computer.

"Fujitsu, the pioneer in pen-enabled notebooks, is once again moving the category forward with market-driven features that change the way people work and impact the bottom line," said Paul Moore, Sr. Director of Mobile Product Marketing, Fujitsu Computer Systems. "For mobile professionals, particularly in vertical markets, whose work takes them to a variety of venues, both the LifeBook P1610 and LifeBook T4215 convertible notebooks have become indispensable for succeeding at their jobs. Additionally, the education market and end-user segment are showing strong interest in our convertible products."

The LifeBook P1610 notebook, powered by the Intel® Core™ Solo ULV U1400 Processor, is available with Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 or Microsoft Windows XP Professional. A new 8.9-inch WXGA indoor/outdoor display combines the best properties of transmissive and transflective technologies for superior viewing. In indoor lighting conditions, a backlight illuminates the screen. In outdoor lighting conditions, a reflective surface within the LCD takes advantage of the sunlight to make the screen even brighter. If the outside light is bright enough, users can turn off the backlight completely, dramatically extending the battery life.

In addition, the display is touch sensitive, enabling users to quickly and easily navigate through applications and the Web using either a stylus or a finger. With up to seven hours of battery life, the LifeBook P1610 notebook keeps up with long workdays in the field or in the office.

The LifeBook T4215 Tablet PC now offers three 12.1-inch display options including a new indoor SXGA+ display, an indoor XGA display with wide viewing angles, and an indoor/outdoor XGA display with wide viewing angles. The industry's lightest convertible Tablet PC with a modular bay offers up to 10 hours of battery life with dual batteries without increasing the thickness of the system.

The LifeBook P1610 notebook joins the LifeBook T4215 Tablet PC in offering the industry's first bi-directional display hinge, which turns the screen in both directions for added convenience. The notebooks' versatile design is complemented with durability delivered by the Fujitsu Shock Sensor utility, an accelerometer-based hard disk drive protection system that retracts the hard drive head if a sudden movement or vibration is detected, reducing the possibility of data loss. The sensor can also be set to password-lock the system if it is touched, preventing the unauthorized access of data.

The LifeBook P1610 notebook and the LifeBook T4215 Tablet PC are packed with features to create a security-rich environment including Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2), built-in biometric fingerprint sensor, and BIOS support for Absolute Software's Computrace® computer theft recovery, data protection, and secure asset tracking software.

Both convertible notebooks make it easy to connect to the office network or the Internet with options including Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG or Atheros Super AG® (802.11a/b/g) WLAN, Gigabit Ethernet LAN, modem, as well as optional Bluetooth. In addition, the LifeBook P1610 notebook joins the LifeBook T4215 in offering a PCMCIA slot for use with popular accessories like cellular wireless WAN cards.

Price and Availability

The Fujitsu LifeBook P1610 notebook is priced at $1,599(1) for a base configuration, and the LifeBook T4215 Tablet PC is priced at $1,799(1) for a base configuration. Both notebooks are immediately available through the Fujitsu direct sales force, website, channel partners and select retail outlets(2). Users can choose from a recommended configuration, or they can customize their system using the Fujitsu Configure To Order (CTO) program.

P1610 / LOOX Tablet PC First Looks InkShow

When you go to a Mobile PC / Tablet PC conference, you never know what the folks from Microsoft will bring with them. Fortunately for you and me, they had the Japanese version of the Fujitsu P1610, the LOOX, on hand and let me borrow it for several hours.

Although not a complete video review, I take everyone through a quick "first looks" video review of the P1610 / LOOX Tablet PC running Vista and show you why this device is so much better than the P1510 - and why I'll end up buying one. Dennis Rice will be doing a more thorough InkShow on the P1610 in the next couple of weeks, but hopefully this video will provide you enough information to whet your appetite.

It is a bit hard to see my handwriting on this InkShow, but the most important thing to get from that feature is that even though the P1610 does have a touch screen, I did not experience any vectoring issues at all - a first for me. I've experimented with many touch based Ultra-Mobile PCs and Tablet PCs, and every one of them have given me vectoring problems when handwriting - all except the P1610 / LOOX.   (Source: Rob Bushway, GottaBeMobile)

Notebook News: ASUS Introduces Vista Tablet Notebook Series

ASUSTeK Computer introduces the R1 notebook series as the world's first notebook to receive the Vista x86 Premium logo that brings new computing and digital entertainment possibilities with the much anticipated Vista operating system.

Tablet PC offers a viable alternative in the mobile computing sphere

The blazing speed of Acer's latest tablet PC, the TravelMate C215 TMi, with a 2GHz Intel Core2Duo processor and two gigabytes of DDR2-533 RAM, blows away any performance limitations inherent in many earlier tablets.

Indeed, pen-based computing seems to have never quite recovered from a faltering start six years ago, when several manufacturers rolled out their first models with under-powered Transmeta Crusoe processors in them. You could tap the screen, and wait, or so it seemed.

Not so with the Acer C215, which is a feisty little performer, weighing 2.35 kg with a larger screen size of 12.1 inches diagonal - some 20 percent larger than many of its predecessors and rendering an 1024 by 768 pixel XGA active matrix colour TFT display.   (Source: Tony Waltham, bangkokpost.com)

OQO Micro PC Makes Retail Debut

Micro PC vendor OQO's handheld-sized Windows XP computer, the model 01+, is going to be available at retail for the first time soon, just in time for the holiday season. The location will be a single retail store, RCS Experience in New York City, however.

Sure, that doesn't sound like much of an entrance into a new sales channel, but OQO asserts the move marks a strategic expansion for the company, which previously only sold its wares online.   (Source: James Alan Miller, PDA Street)

TabletPC2.com Product of the Month Franklin Wireless USB Modem EVDO : CDU-550

On a daily basis many of us travel between meetings, airports, trade shows, sporting events, schools shopping malls and grocery stores.   Having the ability to connect to the internet from where ever you are definitely makes life easier.   From the road warrior to the busy mom on the go, the ability to connect to the internet anywhere anytime has become the ultimate convenience.

Until now those who use Tablet PCs or the new UMPC's ( Ultra Mobile PCs) with out a PC slot did not have the option of being able to connect to the internet on the fly from where ever they happen to be.   Using the internet outside of our home or business networks was limited to hot spots, and pay per use services such as those in airports and hotels.

Now, with the new Franklin Wireless USB Modem EVDO it is possible for anyone using a Tablet PC or UMPC with a USB 2.0 to have an Internet Connection Anywhere, Anytime.  (Source: Linda A. Epstein, TabletPC2.com)

Kohjisha's SA1F00: better and cheaper than a UMPC

Japan has a new mini-PC in the works this time from the obscure Kohjisha company. Besting the specs of most UMPCs while combining a 77-key keyboard, the SA1F00 might just be what the aspiring UMPC fan boy has been waiting for. Ok it's not a true UMPC, but this ultra-portable Windows XP device features AMD's 500MHz Geode LX800 CPU, a 7-inch 800x480 touch-sensitive (?) display, up to 1GB of memory and 80GB of disk, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, 3-in-1 memory card and CF card slots, and respectable 5-hour battery with a 2.2-hour full recharge or 1.5-hours for 85% juice.   (Source: Thomas Ricker, Engadget)

HP Doubles Awards in Education Grants Across Europe, Middle East & Africa

The Technology for Teaching grants enable universities to pioneer the use of mobile technology in education and explore ways to redesign core courses in maths, science, business and engineering using mobile technology.
