So you don't see the difference?
Think a while... both run and operating system, but
- When you have something in your mind, you can write your idea quick,
just pressing the power button in your Newton and the notepad is there.
With a Tablet PC you have to wait until the OS starts, search for you
notepad and hoping it recognizes your write.
- New drivers and software installs instantaneously, and you can run
them immediately, after you install it. With a Tablet PC you'll have to
restart the OS after most installations.
- Newton and Table PC have agenda, everybody knows the Newton agenda,
what is the Table PC one? Outlook? (supposing you run Windows)
Both platforms was developed with different ideas in mind. A Tablet PC
doesn't look that it can arrange your busy life and give you a way to
organize your ideas and the way they go. Newton makes that: organizes.
It's a Personal Digital Assistance. A PC is more like a big tank that
has a lot of power to run big applications in your desktop and makes it
well, but don't ask it to organize your life in the way Newton can do
it, because it would be the same as asking the US ARMY to take care of
your baby: they will don't do that right and most of the time will do
that really bad.
Hope you understand the idea.
Andy.
