Time for my annual Christmas Wish List of things I’d like to see for Tablet PC, UMPC, and Mobile PC users. (Here’s a link to last year’s .) These aren’t gadgets I’d like to see under mine or anyone’s tree, nor are they predictions. Instead these are things I’d like to see happen. As always, I’m an impatient...

I’ve been in heavy duty technical rehearsals this week for Wayside Theatre’s annual Christmas show, which accounts for my lack of posting recently. This year we are producing It’s A Wonderful Life: A Life Radio Play , which has proved to be a lot of fun so far. But the reason I’m writing this isn’t about...

We’ve been hearing calls for a more mobile-orienated operating system recently and recent news about the next Microsoft OS, Windows 7 , is a part of the spark that is lighting that fire. Call it MinWin , or what have you, talk of an embedded OS for mobile systems certainly makes sense. After reading...

Internetting Verb 1. The act of migrating tasks and applications from local PCs to rich internet applications. 2. A word invented (and defined) to write this here article. In the last couple years, we've learned that Ultra-Mobile PCs, MIDs, and Internet Tablets aren't meant to replace full computers...

On the most recent MobileTech Roundup podcast , hosts James Kendrick, Kevin Tofel and Matt Miller wonder what happened to the slates. Well, they don’t just wonder what happened. Kendrick sort of declares them dead, at least as far as UMPCs are concerned. It is a shame really, that the move to add...

Over the last year or so there has been much talk about low cost computing solutions targeted at the education market and emerging nation markets. First there was the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) that was intially ballyhooed as the $100 computer. Then came the Asus Eee PC , (aimed somewhat at education...

Reading the headline of this post you might ask, "Now what has accessibility got to do with mobile or tablet and touch technology?" Read on and hopefully you will get it. I admit that this is going to be largely an editorial, but hopefully we will learn something along the way and that makes...

Cue Paul Simon. Quite a bit of consternation out there caused by the recent news about the XP downgrading option . And for those who love to wring their hands and say the sky is falling, that tune just keeps on playing. But some just keep looking for better/different solutions. Two stalwarts in the Tablet...

Man, one look at all of my equipment, and it is becoming quite clear to me that a few things have got to go. I might have to reclaim my title of "man of many tablet pc's" :-) What all do I have and what am I going to get rid of? Hit the Read More link to find out - and let me know what...

Timing. James Kendrick has had enough . A master of mobile technology, he’s been working with Vista on more mobile devices than I can keep track of. He’s put up a pretty scathing post on jkOnTheRun stating that that in his opinion Vista will never run well on mobile devices and it is one...

As the mobile world creeps closer and closer to an always on, always connected state, every now and then something pops up that gives me pause. Usually the precipitating incident is a failure somewhere down the line. This morning on Twitter I was watching Chris Brogan wonder (and seek advice) about the...

It wasn’t too long ago that I viewed mobility primarily through a Microsoft lense: smartphones, PDAs, mobile computers, web services, application software, etc. However, as I’ve been experimenting with different stuff the past year, I have found myself becoming more and more mobile platform agnostic...
