Microsoft is NOT making its own Tablet PC

Microsoft is NOT making its own Tablet PC: "There was a report today on heise online that said that Microsoft would release its own Tablet PC. I immediately emailed a bunch of people inside Microsoft to check on this report. It is abjectly NOT TRUE. That's straight from Peter Loforte, general manager on the Tablet PC team."—Robert Scoble

Crisis averted. Stand down.

Microsoft to launch low cost Tablet PC: "According to ActiveWin, Armin Cremerius-Gunther, Windows division head for Microsoft Germany, announced Tuesday that Microsoft intends to launch its own Tablet PC. The article also states that Microsoft's intention is to sell the Tablet PC for less than 1200 euros. Microsoft realizes that the high costs of current Tablet PCs..."—jkOnTheRun

If this is true, it will either revolutionize the industry or kill it. Or both.

PDF Annotator

PDF Annotator: "Previously, annotating, commenting or proofreading a document received for review in PDF file format was possible only by using multiple software products in a row—or only by printing the document and adding comments manually. With PDF Annotator, annotations can also be added in a natural way—using a pen—but everything remains in digital format. PDF Annotator allows commenting of PDF files in a single step."—Grahl Software Design

Best RSS Feed Reader for Tablets?

Linux On Your Tablet PC

Linux On Your Tablet PC: "tyman writes 'Michael Rolig has created a Debian-based linux package for your Tablet PC. The support for various tablet features is limited by the features on the tablet Rolig owns, such as the 'half-working' pen button features. One important missing feature is the screen-swivel buttons common with most tablets. However this is a good start for the development of linux for Tablet PCs.'"—Slashdot
