visit my blog: SocialMediaSEO.net Check out Courier from Microsoft. This is a new tablet PC that has yet to be released to market. I found the video on Gizmodo.com. Mircosoft Courier Tablet PC
Ipad SUCK ON THAT!
I just purchased this laptop. It looks like a great laptop for education i cant wait to use it in school. when you have 10 classes you notebook becomes really packed, especially when you have numerous amount of AP and Honors classes. I will try to make a review for you guys when i get it. I will get the newest one which now uses i5 Intel Core
come on nobody needs something like that
LAME
FUck Dude and Eladril we don’t need that fucking shit here, go fucking exchange emails you fags
actually not, because as i said i have only used it for about a year now, and i need to store all my files because we have a test every years around christmas where you have to prove that you have become better. So i need to compare old a new files to get a good grade.
But i guess you are right. Let’s keep this discussion as it is, and spend our time a bit better than trying to convince eachother which is a better product. : )
because you haven’t deleted files that you don’t use anymore for years
if you really need to write something long there’s an external keyboard in the apple store which can be attached to the iPad.
i suggest we end this conversation. i doubt that any of us will be able to convince another to buy or to not. you obviously need something more powerful than a tablet when you’re out so this just isnt a product for you.
No im looking at what it can and how useful it will be, and i conclude that it can’t do what i wan’t it to do, and then it would be a waste of money to buy it.
No im not saying that it can’t handle it, but the keyboard is the issue. A on screen keyboard isn’t as comfortable and probably not as fast to use either.
And no the HDD capacity is not enough at all. Programs i use in my school and documents have filled up over 30GB already. And i haven’t even used my computer for a year so far.
your trying to find a reason why not to buy it while it should be the other way around. awkard position? you’d have to place it on a table or on your knees, just like you would with a notebook. the keyboard is almost normal size, at least that’s what Jobs said.
iPad supports word and excel’s file types so that’s not an issue either.
hdd capacity – unless you’re a professional photographer what would you need more space for..
maybe if you only have to write an email, but i doubt that you would be able to do anything near the typeing rate as you would on a normal keyboard. Not to mention the akward position you have to hold it to be able to do it.
Im not talking about special programs. Just normal stuff like exel and word. It just faster and more comfortable with a normal keyboard. Also with the very limited ammount of HDD capacity you can’t really store anything on it.
.. it’s absolutely ok to write something on a tablet, i dont understand what’s your problem with it. meybe you talking about working on something specific that requires multiple programs but again, you can use a lap for that.. yes it’s true you can use iphone but it’s just more comfortable, just a week ago i had to accompany my grandmother for a test in a hospital, and there i had to wait for 4 hours until they finished, an iPad with it’s capatabilities would be excellent in that circumstance.
“10 pages in an evening” like.. hmm.. well in a word document?? 10 pages of writing. If you have to do something on the job, or school etc. And the tablet thing is really usefull for school work that im using it for. Taking notes for something technical and just navigating through the menus of a computer is more then twice as fast with the pen then with the normal touchpad.
If you have to check out something on the internet while on the run you can do the same on a iphone.
’10 pages in an evening’? im not sure what this expression means. im not a native english speaker.
however, i think you’re partially right. on the HP slate you’ll be able to run pc software which is a good thing, but a tablet is just not meant for this! If you really want to sit down, write something important and long then you use laptop.. same if you want to use photoshop etc.. it’s made is to check some stuff quickly when waiting for a bus or standing in a line.. not work on it.
Maybe, so what you are looking for is a toy or a gadget. The ipad is the perfect gadget, but not usefull… Maybe it is comfortable to surf the internet with it in the sofa, but you can’t use it to write 10 pages in an evening. A tablet like this HP tablet is a workers laptop, not just a fancy toy.
well i cant agree with that. i think that a tablet should be infact a 3rd device between a smartphone and a netbook and is not meant to be a substitution for any of those. if you want to navigate the web in a comfortable way, on a bigger screen which brings many advantages compared to a smaller version (smartphone), and be able to perform some minor activities beside that, and the same time you dont want to carry along a multi task device like a laptop then i think iPad really fits perfectly.
Apple know how to make money and how to make people think that what they are buying is something special. And sure they have made a lot of good products, but the ipad fails in every way. And a tablet pc isn’t a handicapped netbook. No you see, a normal laptop or the ipad is the one that is handicapped. A handicap is when something misses an ability, and beeing able to use the screen as a tablet and the keyboard to write stuff makes it have more functions then a normal laptop or the ipad.
@dude2106
you dont know what you’re talking about “dude”. apple knows what its doing. they designed their device to serve its purpose as a tablet that isnt a handicapped version of a netbook like this shit will be. never heard of this file inspection thing but since its a software part of the device it can be easily disabled..
Yes there are the ipad as you have sure heard about. But DON’T buy it. It can’t really do anything, and apple has control of everything you have on it. They can delete files remotely if it’s illegal. But HP has these very small tablets, where fujutsu-siemens makes some there are a bit bigger and more like normal laptops just with the tablet function.
I’m new to all these tablet stuff and I want to know, is there different types of tablet?? would there be one that looks like a pad or something/?
this looks really outdated
am what are the specs of a tablet computer? probally 1.8 ghz processor,ati radeon graphcs card an 1 geg ram?
I really want one now….
I HAVE TWO!!!
chinese boy
I like that type of computer. It’s funny having a Ching Chong speaking Ozzy.
I SAW THE FUTURE!!
I’m a Linux / Windows user, and really enjoy freedom to choose. I am soooo disappointed with the iPad, but am soooo happy to see this. It looks sooooo much better than iPad, especially for what I need and use.
boring
I’m impressed, the number of extremely boring things you can do with this. Amazing marketing.
Cancelled
@tnoyy34rt OpenVMS hasn’t ever been useful outside of the enterprise market. NT may be similar to OpenVMS as far as the kernel is concerned, but not as far as the operating system as a whole. At all.
@thebsdguy – yes, but Apple paid $400 million for the purchase of NeXT, they didn’t hire DEC engineers and steal it. And Avie Tevanian was the main engineer behind NeXTSTEP and OSX, not Serlet.
-
no… “Those similarities could fill a book. In fact, you can read sections of VAX/VMS Internals and Data Structures as an accurate description of NT internals simply by translating VMS terms to NT terms.”

@tnoyy34rt And OS X came from NeXT and Bertrand Serlet, didn’t it?
Stolen copies of VMS? It’s hardly similar to VMS.
@thebsdguy – NT came from DEC and Dave Cutler… NT is based on stolen copies of VMS.
@tnoyy34rt Oh, excuse me – you’re talking about OS X. Sorry about that misunderstanding.
@tnoyy34rt DOS? Yeah, I refuse to run that stolen OS on my 16-bit 286.
Who did they buy/steal NT from, then?
@thebsdguy – but they have never written an OS, they always buy their OS (or steal) it from someone else and slap their name on it.
@poopzkid3 – it will never come out, microsoft canceled it a few weeks ago.
-
all ipads already have multitasking for the main apps, but more are coming for free in the fall.
@poopzkid3 Microsoft was never planning to produce this.
when its comming out? i found that bether then the i pad its cool and have multitaskink thats cool
@macindrew >Microsoft doesn’t have the programming skill
Gee, I’m sure that with all the talent they attract and the competitive nature of employment at the company, they lack skilled programmers. Because, you know, writing an entire operating system is so trivial.
@thebsdguy – yes, and i’ve told people that over and over, glad it’s finally canceled so people don’t think it was ever going to be made. Courier also means “person or a company employed to deliver messages, packages and mail” is my guess on the name. Yes, HP had to cancel the Slate since not only did it try and run Windows 7, but it used the battery hungry Atom processor… so it’s back to the drawing board form them too.
@YumeWire – yeah, but the Courier wasn’t practical, there is no way it would have worked in the real world, plus Microsoft doesn’t have the programing skill to make something like that. It was just a pipe dream for old people that still write with pencils.
i can’t believe they canceled this…. now i gotta get a stupid iPad!! >_>
@Macinndrew The Courier was a side project by some Microsoft engineers. It was never meant to reach fruition as a product. Marketing wanted them to show it off as if it was an actual upcoming product, which misled the public. Besides, why the hell would Microsoft sell a product with the same name as a font?
The Slate was meant to run Windows 7, which simply isn’t a competitive mobile OS. It’s like wanting the full OS X on the iPad – it simply wouldn’t work out.
@thebsdguy – but the Xbox was just a copy of Apple’s Pippin.

Microsoft still uses Apple’s processors to this day.

Surface has been around since the 70′s, it was an old PARC project.
@thebsdguy – congratulations… you’ll freak at the speed and 20 hour battery life… sure it’s not god’s gift… but it’s close…
@Macinndrew Microsoft never innovates!? Look at the original Xbox – it had several features that no other console had. Built-in storage, the ability to rip audio CDs for in-game use, breakaway cables for safety, built-in Ethernet. Microsoft Surface? Who did they copy that from? This is only the tip of the iceberg.
@Macinndrew FedEx has my iPad on its way, and I’ve already used one. It’s an excellent device. It’s a tablet, it’s versatile and a good tool, but it’s not god’s gift to mankind.
@Macinndrew You’ve got a point there ^^
