Now, this combined with a camera, a good camera mind, with video too, would be to ideal blogging tool for me. Especially if I could get a Vodaphone GPRS card stuck in there.
Imagine out at the park with the kids. Snap a few pix, write a few words, hell I even could get Esme to write a few things, and Bradley to draw a few pictures. Whack that little lot up top the blog, and what a fantastic record of the kids for Nanna and them when they grow up.
Would need to connect up Radio and probably Firefox to this handwriting gig, but it seems that Microsoft has a developer program for this.
As you write and come to the end of a line in the
TIP, it automatically creates a second line so you can continue
writing. In fact, it will keep opening lines as needed until you run
out of screen real estate. Maavelous deal, maavelous. See image below.
As you write, the tablet will turn your writing into
text, and show you what it thinks you've written. Simply tap on any of
these words to correct them as needed. When you tap on a recognized
word, the new TIP will show several alternate word choices, or you can
write over any letter in your word to correct it. If you've ever used
Decuma on the Sony Clie or Pocket PC, the concept is similar.
