Tablet PC Development
I went to an interesting little event put on by Acer and
Microsoft today. The topic was Tablet PC Development.
Considering that it is put on in part by Acer, and
advertised to IT executives, there was quite a bit of
actual code talked about (normally these things are all
sales pitches with a “oh yeah, there is an SDK available”
shoved in at the end).
I was quite impressed with what I saw and I am now
officially sold on the Tablet PC as a platform.
Admittedly, I had my doubts when Microsoft first announced
the Tablet PC. And even after using it I was skeptical
that development specifically for the Tablet would pay
dividends. But now that I’ve seen how easy it is to
implement Digital Ink into your application, my skepticism
is significantly diminished.
If you’re interested, there are several more of these
events in the North Eastern US. You can register for them over at
Microsoft Events.
I’ll be interested to see how many companies start
developing for the platform.
