I’m back in business with my new Tablet PC. I couldn’t be happier with my choice of hardware too.
I went with the Electrovaya SC-2000 which has outstanding battery life and packs enough power and large enough screen into a 3lb slate form factor.
So now that my system is back together I can get back to what’s really important… Tablet PC development for Einstein Technologies.
As a side note, I’ve finally switched away from Internet Explorer as my default browser. I read a whole bunch of posts on Robert Scoble’s web log and Channel 9 forums that got me asking… "What benefit does IE have anymore?" The sad fact is none, really. It used to be that other browsers sucked at rendering bad web pages and IE was more tolerant. But now IE has been virtually untouched (except for a bunch of security patches) for years and Mozilla has gotten really good at rendering pages. IE doesn’t support nearly as many standards and has numerous rendering flaws that MS seems uninterested in fixing.
Oh well I’ve defended IE to the death but when the biggest feature on the horizon for IE is a download manager… it gets me thinking.
