You might want to get this instead of your next PocketPC

I don't like tablet pcs, because my friend had one, and 1st the touchscreen cracked, which they then had to open the screen and remove it so they could temporary use it as a Laptop... and then the monitor disconnected from the keyboard when you tried to swivel it. They had to snap the goddamn thing back in- luckily none of the wires broke.

Then again, the damn thing just won't fit into your pocket.

And the fact you can have a laptop twice as powerful, and in some cases, smaller, and the battery life, and the OS and HWR needs improvment, and the price, and the alleged durability problems above.

Tablet PCs try to be a PDA, and they try to be a laptop, and fail at both for now.

Haha Moose, I knew it the thread would be about Tablet PCs the second about the title.

Anyway, yeah, they are kinda pointless. Screen to small, device too big, writing to inefficient, and so on.

Now if my only Thinkpad's battery lasted for longer than 10 minutes...

Well, the ones without keyboards are even more ridiculous. How are you supposed to do any input? Do any of you here write faster than you type?

Just because they don't work for you and your immature uses doesn't mean some people can actually use them for productive purposes. All uh y'all lamers go back to your Shuttle XPCs and 15000 3DMark desktops :roll:
