You have to know by now that
TabletGear.com is giving away a
TabletKiosk eo ultra-Mobile PC. Yes, I know it's just one giveaway, and not like the massive events Microsoft held for the TabletPC in 2003, but it's a start, doggonit! As delighted as I am, I can't help but feel a little of
Craig Pringle's disappointment. As happens so frequently, only those in the USA are eligible to win, and Craig would like to see opportunities of the same sort arise in his part of the world. I think he makes sense. I've read many posts where people have reported that a certain cool technology is never seen in their countries; perhaps exclusions like this have something to do with that (I mean no slight to TabletGear; I have heard it is difficult to open contests up to other locales without running afoul of somebody's laws). If you agree that there should be some UMPC giveaways in Australia or New Zealand,
Hugo "poogie" Ortega would like to hear from you. I bet UMPCs are easier to use upside-down than full-fledged TPCs!
Did you honestly think I would let Frank La Vigne's recent TabletPC MVP award go by without commenting? I just had a really rough weekend at work (this is not unexpected when one chooses to provide computer support for an organization which operates 24/7), that's all, so my intended Sunday post is...uh...today. Don't ask me why I didn't do it Monday or Tuesday. Back on topic: congrats, Frank! Oh, yeah, I know where to find you when I need you, now!
I'm not much for podcasts or videocasts (my attention span is too short), but James Kendrick's video review of the eo had my full attention. Yes, it was last week, but I want to make sure you didn't miss it. James, you evil man, warn me to put on a bib next time.
If you missed everyone posting about MVP Chris De Herrera's OQO Model 01+ review, well, here you go.
Until the next giveaway...or something
