The Tablet Reconsidered
July 24, 2007 From Steve Smith
More than four years ago Bill Gates introduced the Tablet PC as a “revolution” in computing. The digitizer stylus, combined with strong handwriting recognition, could replace the keyboard in many situations, we were told. Well, years later the keyboard remains alive and unchallenged as the input device of choice, and Tablet PC sales have been generally underwhelming until very recently. Which is no to say that users looking for a new laptop shouldn’t consider the Tablet PC (or “convertible”) option that manufacturers like HP, IBM, Toshiba and Gateway offer in their portable lines. The original “slate” design had no keyboard at all, but
