I know a Tablet PC has alot of usefull features and the softwares available which make it even more powerful are amazing. I use my tablet for several purposes, but one thing that I would like to mention, which I really have fun doing is using my Tablet and its inking capability in my mails and IM.
When using IM, such as MSN, with a Tablet I am able to send messages in my own handwriting, personalize them in my own way.... add my own drawings, smileys and little cartoons. All this is only possible with the magical stylus of a Tablet PC.
Another possible use of a Tablet PC, which I really enjoy is using it to add signatures to my mails. Earlier I had to go through a tedious and long process to add signatures to my e-mail, but now all I have to do it pick up my stylus and sign!!!
The above are only some of the things that I really enjoy doing with My stylus.... but yes it can not be ignored, today the powers of a Tablet are beyond imagination. Not only in Education, but even in Hospitals, Government management etc.
A Tablet PC is just a hardware with really cool features..... what really makes it useful is the softwares and applications that are developed to make the Tablet functionable and usable in different areas!!!
Having working in a company that focuses on developing Tablet PC application, I must admit I am impressed with the ideas that they think and the possibile potentials that a Tablet PC has!!!
Its indeed the era of Digital Tablets!!!
