Microsoft's Secret Tablet
-
Came across this little gadget today. Looks like we'll all be owning something like this in a few years. Looks very handy. http://gizmodo.com/5365299/courier-first-details-of-microsofts-secret-tablet

Finally a more geeky solution to my daily planner, gotta get one.

Not even faintly a new idea. I was working on a prototype device of this sort in 1989. And again in 1995. And again in 2002. The earliest 'serious' suggestion that I know of was in Alan Kay's PH.D. thesis from 1969 but it's faintly possible one might have to consider a few mentions from assorted SF stories as well.

Looks like a good idea. I'm no Apple fanboy, I don't even own an Apple product - but - I'm willing to bet that if Apple and MS come out with similar devices, Apple's will be more stable and better thought out than MS's.
Either way, they should be very interesting devices if they ever make it to market.

It would be very handy for Nameset machines like cgScenes.
