Well, I just bought a new Toshiba M200 tablet. Why? According to Julie the question is not why, it’s Why Not?
I have been wanting one of these things for a long time, and I just could not resist any longer. I thought about waiting to see what the next version looks like, but this one has everything I want, so I didn’t see any reason to wait. I actually have a couple ideas for tablet applications, and while you can develop apps without a tablet I think it would be pretty tough. The only bad part is that it will probably arrive right when I am about to leave on vacation.
So what apps should I pick up?

Hooray!!!!!!!!
I’m getting that machine, too. We can compare notes!
For apps, head on over to tabletpcpost.com (hee hee)
bastard!
I’ve been using one for quite a while. Actually was able to look at an early prototype. I think they are great machines. You’ll enjoy it. Tell me if you think the Del key is in the wrong place

If it doesn’t come with it, pick up OneNote. I have found this to be far better than the Windows Journal software that comes with Tablet PC OS. Also, for IM, MSN Messenger 6.1 has some nice ink enabled features. I haven’t found anything else I couldn’t live without.
There is also a list of Tablet Software that is updated regularly over on TabletPCBuzz:

I take that back…..Office Document Image Writer that comes in MS Office is very handy. It installs a print driver that you can print things to, which scans them into a file. I use this mainly to print articles off the web to, then store them in a folder to read later. You can annotate them and such in the Office Document Image software.
I know that Journal offers similiar functionality, but I have found I perfer the one that comes with Office.
