fp and tablets

[Richard Hane]

Bob,

First of all have a great time on the safari.  Someday I'd like to travel to 
Afica.

I have read about the Slate and it seemed to be reviewed as the best of the 
Windows tablets.  I just heard earlier this week that HP will be bringing out 
there new Windows tablet in June of this year. I believe it will have a 9 1/2 
inch screen.

To all others who commented I should have been clearer.  I want to tablet to 
have filepro resident on the machine and not to access filepro as a terminal.

Thank you,
Rick Hane

I've been testing an HP Slate 500. It's a full Windows 7 PC, with solid 
state drive and support for both stylus and multi-touch. It has a USB port 
as well as bluetooth and wifi, but no cell modem. You can connect external 
keyboard, mouse, etc. When in its included docking stand it has HDMI 
output for a monitor, and a couple more USB ports.

The biggest negative I've found is that the floating keyboard doesn't move 
itself out of the way. I'm spoiled by how well the iPad does that. Second 
on my CON list is that many Windows controls are too small to use finger 
touch efectively, so the stylus is frequently necessary.

One of these days I'll post a video about it, but right now I'm heading 
for a photo safari in South Africa.
