Paul Mooney (a Microsoftie?) writes that "Collaboration is the killer app on a Tablet PC" (without really explaining what he means, but it appears that he's only thinking of Pillar 3), and proceeds to argue that "Shortsighted OEM's have created Tablet PC's as beefy laptops and even suggest that they are desktop replacements". What he appears to want is a Windows Mobile device with an external keyboard.
I hope that these "shortsighted OEMs" remain shortsighted, ie, keep *focused* on producing Tablet PCs that have big and beautiful screens, such as what's on my new Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet PC, which I'm thrilled to use daily. Eric even said that he'd love to have a 17" Tablet ...
Were you the guy at CTC who carried his Tablet PC on wheels?

I carried my Tablet on my shoulder, in a computer bag, along with my PowerBook. Eric Mack, http://www.ericmackonline.com, had his Tablet and other accessories in a roll-along bag at CTC. I'm sorry we didn't get to meet!
