OT Paceblade Tablet PC

["biggles299" <charles@xxxxxxx>]

I have just returned from Nepcon at the NEC. (this is the major 
electronics manufacturing show in the UK run every two years).
It was a very depressing experience with no signs of UK investment 
and a very poor turnout. That aside, one of the stands had a Pace 
blade Tablet PC on it, I spent about an hour playing with it and 
here are my opinions. - I have skipped the spec for it as that is 
available elsewhere.

1. Very tough and rugged front screen unlikely to break in normal 
use, he wouldn't let me drop test it though :-( 
2. Quite heavy - comparable with an ultra laptop
3. Surprised the keyboard was IR but worked very well over a long 
range (up to about 30 feet)
4. Tablet version of XP looks well sorted (as much as I could tell 
in an hour)Nice onboard keyboard
5. Apparently it will do speach to text "I've only just got it and I
<=
BR>
havn't tried that yet but the data sheet says it will"
6. Not sure if WiFi is inbuilt or card but there is a "Cardbus"
s=
lot 
in it.
7. Did not get hot
8. Hard button to switch between landscape and portrait mode.

Overall impresion: shave 500g off the weight and I'll bite your arm 
off for one........ (I am a confirmed Ipaq user at present)
