Tablet PCs - Features & Benefits

While there are many manufacturers of Tablet PCs worldwide, the benefits of the a tablet are universal:

Change how you work with your PC. Using the intuitive aspects of pen and paper, you can work more naturally with your computer. Simply write directly on the screen and save your notes in your own handwriting or convert them to typed text for input into other applications. Your pen can also do those things commonly done with a mouse or keyboard (open software, select text, display menus).

Take your notes electronically. Tablet PCs come with Microsoft Windows Journal, an application that lets you create and organize your handwritten notes. With Windows Journal, it's easy to capture text, diagrams, and pictures just like you would with pen and paper. Advanced handwriting recognition technology lets you search your handwritten notes to quickly find what you need.

Collaborate easily and effectively. Download Microsoft Office® XP Pack for Tablet PCs and add comments in Word documents, emphasize key points in PowerPoint presentations, and write and send email with Outlook® - all in your own handwriting. You can share these handwritten documents with other PC users, even though they may not have a tablet PC.

Extend your applications with ink- Windows XP Tablet PC Edition has powerful but simple ink controls and application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow software developers to extend existing software with pen and ink and develop new applications using this technology.
