ok, it seems like i should be able to get at least 10 hours a day after the trip, so thats a good thing, thats pretty exciting since i met a guy at Starbucks who had considered buying a tablet sometime but went with some Mac laptop, He use it for graphics, I also met a guy at Barnes and Noble that had a TC1000 , Same evening i met the TC1000er i met a lady who said she had thought about it quite a bit. The words of the Mac defector echo in my mind "those things have to come down in price!!!!", i have for some time refused to admit that Tablets are too expensive, insisiting that the problem is lack of software. Maybe its true, but maybe its also true with the right application people will spend the money to get the functionality, I don't know, but the situation remains that there isn't enough , actuallly there isn't any software for the tablet apart from the fairly skewed offerings from vendors trying to expand their existing products and MS stuff. So though the things are too expensive , fact remains that there is STILL no software for this device. The good news is that after my trip (a day) i get my 10 hours a day to work on Write Free whcih as we said earlier is a framework, an enabler, a way for us to be able to make lots of applications for the tablet .....
