Leaders From The Tablet PC Industry Address The
Future Of Mobile Computing
Technology Marketing Corporation
(TMC), is hosting its second Tablet PC Summit on
September 24, 2002 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, California as
part of the Planet PDA conference. This special workshop will showcase the
most advanced organization-level tablet PC solutions and demonstrate the
state-of-the-art paperless environment.
After a few false starts, tablet PCs are once again gaining significant
momentum in the marketplace -- in no small part due to Microsoft's Tablet PC
initiative and bold, new innovations in hardware and software development
from the industry at large. The tablet PC -- a device that offers a larger
touch screen, support for full-color, high-resolution images, and an
interface extremely similar to your desktop computer -- has been referred to
by some as today's "Super PDA." Today's latest tablet PC products
offer a variety of advanced features, including advanced handwriting
recognition, digital ink software, speech recognition, integrated Wi-Fi
technology, and a host of expansion possibilities.
TMC President Rich Tehrani believes new technologies such as the tablet
PC play an important role in enriching the computer user's productivity.
"The investment in a tablet PC is a smart one. This supercharged
portable gives us the opportunity to share information, work together on
content, send notifications, and update tasks among all pertinent parties at
the same time, no matter where we are at the time. These unique features
will help us reduce errors and eliminate lost information since everyone is
kept in the loop," said Tehrani.
Tablet PC Summit(TM) offers a first-class forum for learning how tablet PCs
-- when effectively deployed in an organization -- can dramatically improve
productivity and increase profitability. Today's latest tablet PC products
offer a variety of advanced features, including integrated wireless
networking, advanced handwriting recognition, speech recognition and
expansion possibilities that will one day enable the paperless office.
Imagine a boardroom full of executives, managers and support staff
conducting a meeting where no whiteboard, no note pads and no recording
equipment are required. Each meeting attendee will be sharing notes on their
personal tablets. Remote attendees can participate by using their tablets
and a wireless connection.
Marc Robins, TMC's Vice President of Publications and Trade Shows, feels
the strength of Tablet PC Summit lies in the pioneering companies
participating. "Starting with Acer, Infocater, and ViewSonic, this
super workshop will compare tablet PCs, laptops, ultra portables and PDAs as
they relate to an effective enterprise handheld computing strategy.
Attendees will find out which device is best for their organization. There
is simply no other event where attendees can review the latest tablet PC
offerings from industry leading vendors and how these offerings can help
their organizations become more efficient," said Robins.
