This should be a requirement for anyone in LE!
i just got back from the microsoft presentation of windows XP for the tablet PC. WOW! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
i have got to get one. it allows you to scan in forms and handwrite them on the tablet just like you would handwrite a form, but it will convert the handwriting to regular text on the form. it allows for notetaking where you can actually search through your handwritten notes. this would make accident reports so easy. just fill it all out in the field then print it out when you get in. no more thumbing through my notebook.
the pen, not a stylus, works just like a regular pencil. if you make a mistake, you scribble it out or turn the pen over and erase it. the screen isn't like a touchscreen where the cursor moves with every touch; you actually have to have the pen to use it. they said the pens are inexpensive to replace and most tablet PCs will come with 3 or more.
you can circle a part of a web page and copy and paste just that portion into a note or a email, or whatever program you're using. it's completely compatible with word, excel, etc.
i've looked into the municipal lease programs. i'm going to have to find out about getting one. this would make life 1,000 times easier.
something else i couldn't believe. the tablet PCs used a wireless VGA monitor.
full support of 802.11b and is ready for a. compatible with blue tooth. several makers were there including acer, hp, toshiba, and fujitsu. some of the models incorporate a keyboard that folds neatly into the back to make like a tablet, or you can spin the monitor and use it like a regular notebook. most of them weigh at or under 3 lbs. it also incorporates a virtual keyboard if you prefer not to use the one built in or if it doesn't come with one.
