For people who work with information, the problem used to be finding enough of it. If you were analyzing a subject, or writing a report, most of your time was spent finding the information you needed.
Tablet PCs are powerful, light-weight, portable computers that combine many of the features of a standard laptop with those of a personal digital assistant like a Palm handheld. While Tablet PCs are often seen as fancy tools for doctors, lawyers, and other high-paid information workers, one of their best uses is a low-tech activity that almost everyone does - taking notes. While at first, it sounds crazy to replace pencil and paper with a comparatively expensive, heavy, fragile, battery-powered Tablet PC, it really isn't.
The Tablet PCs are finally here. We've been hearing about them for years--small, light (some weigh less than 3 pounds) computers that you can write on as if they were a pad of paper or a personal digital assistant. These tiny powerhouses run a version of Windows XP, so you can use them like high-end notebook computers and run all your favorite applications. But you can also use them like virtually endless digital notebooks or sketchbooks, entering information with a special pen in environments where a desktop or notebook computer just won't cut it. You can even talk to them.
