Re: [NTLK] The UMPC dies.

As a Tablet PC owner, I have to disagree whole-heartedly.
My Tablet PC, after enough training, recognizes my handwriting just as well
as my 2100.
We should all be supportive of ANY platform that offers HWR as a prime
feature; there's no chance of Apple ever bringing back a Newton-type device
unless companies like MS make sufficient penetration into the market.

Apple will never bring HWR back like they tried to with the Newton unless
they think they can sell it. The constant failures of Tablet PC and UMPC
just reinforces his Royal Steveness that not bringing it back was the right
decision.

"Can't we all just get along?"
