John Tokash has a TabletKiosk eo on order and he's strategizing about how he's going to be using his new UMPC. He's examining issues and scenarios and asking some interesting questions and thinking about software. Here are a few:
- This will be the first Windows XP device I will own that has no bundled keyboard. I’m no stranger to keyboard-less devices, though. None of my phones or PDAs (except my Palm Tungsten C and my RIM 957) had keyboards.
- Does Windows XP for Tablets have a mini on-screen keyboard for the login prompt? I’ll be logging on to the Windows network at the office and hopefully it will be easy to enter my password every morning.
- Can Second Life be played on a slate tablet pc (with no keyboard)? Is the eo fast enough for Second Life?
John's not alone. I remember thinking about my first Tablet PC purchase and being concerened about similar issues (although I ordered a convertible which came with a keyboard.) I'm sure there are others out there with many of the same thoughts and questions. I wonder how many folks decide not to go for it because they don't have answers to their questions? Yet. Check out the rest of his thoughts and possible answers here.
