It’s easy to type out longer essays with the keyboard, and yet for most purposes the pen is a great input device. The conversion between the two modes is rapid enough to keep the flow of my work, unlike other tablets that make you stop and twist the screen around to convert it to tablet mode.

The few. The proud. I got an X41 not too long ago and love it (althought the vconfiguration I got sems a bit underpowered). Glad you are trying out MindManager. It's pretty cool to ink out your thoughts and then go to Format-->Microsoft PowerPoint slides and instantly see how the map would look as a slide show, complete with the background of your choice. I don't know if you use PPT (MindManager in Presentation Mode is a nice alternative). But if you do, this is a great way to get your slides together much faster. Kevin,

I broke down last week and picked up the X41 due to my concerns. As an aside, I really like the X41 keyboard... It was most likely the better choice for me with the amount of typing I will be doing at times. I appreciate all of your replies.

I've used a mousestick before on an old IBM Thinkpad, so having one here is no big deal. They do take a bit of getting used to, but once you figure out the feel it works very well. Tortfeasor,

The mouse, on the other hand, is a mouse-stick in the middle of the keyboard, and I'm not too comfortable with that. I typically use an external mouse when I can. I am comfortable enough with the keyboard that I don't use an external one even when I could. Tortfeasor,

Thompson Mon, 16 Jan 2006 23:16:04 +0000 http://www.cyberlawcentral.com/?p=60#comment-19 Thanks, TabletUser! I'll be sure to give it a try to see if it works with the Acer. I'm not a big fan of Outlook, so I don't know if this is going to work for me. Even if it works, I can imagine plenty of scenarios when it would be too awkward to get the tablet out, but the PDA would work just fine. Still, for $29.95, it *might* be worth it for those other occasions when it would be fine to use the Tablet, or in between syncs of the PDA. Thanks, TabletUser!

It had software called Quicklook on it. Phoenix made it and has improved on it since. Phoenix FirstWare Assistant. http://www.phoenix.com/en/Products/Trusted+Applications/Phoenix+FirstWare/FirstWare+Assistant/default.htm I stole the next bit from DeviceForge.com Here's how it works: Let's say you're you're in a hurry to look up someone's phone number or read the contents of a recent email. You flip open your laptop, press its "on" button, and hit the designated "hot key" (F, in this case) -- and presto, you gain instant access to your Outlook PIM data and email without having to wait for your laptop to boot Windows XP. I love it! I don't carry a PDA anymore and you can download a trial version. I used to use a PDA until I used an HP TC1100 tablet. It had software called Quicklook on it.
