Getting on the write track

Independent technology analyst Peter Glaskowsky praised the move to
ensure that Tablet PCs learn from their individual users.
"That would be a great thing," he said. Glaskowsky is a longtime Apple
Newton fan who only recently gave up his long-discontinued device in
favor of a Tablet PC.
Glaskowsky said there are still areas in which his faithful Apple
handheld outshines Microsoft's creation.
"They (Microsoft) should get eight or 10 of their top people and get
them Newton MessagePad 2100s and make them use them instead of tablets
for a couple of months," he said. "Then they could learn what they
overlooked."
For example, he said, the Newton is much better about giving feedback
about which handwriting is being recognised than, say, a Tablet PC
running Microsoft's OneNote. But he conceded that he has grown to like
some of the modern things that have come in the years since the Newton
was crafted--things like multimedia abilities, wireless Internet
access and color graphics.
