No, I'm Not Dead, I'm At Microsoft
Quick update from Redmond, stay tuned for the full Mobius scoop when I get back to Colorado. We took a good long look at all of Microsoft's mobile options today, from Pocket PC Phone Edition (expect a full review of the T-Mobile soon), Microsoft Smartphone, Smart Display (the wireless monitor formerly known as Mira) and Tablet PC.
Tablet PC freakin' rocks. To quote Will Smith in "ID4", "I have GOT to get me one of these!" I had a chance to take a good long hands on with one tonight, and this is the ultimate writer's machine. One month from now, you'll know why I say, "Ink rules, text drools."
We also got a look at the ViewSonic V35. This thing is unbelievably light, and the transflective screen is gorgeous. ViewSonic is planning to hammer the retail market with this for the holiday season, so expect to see a lot of thin, light 64MB Pocket PCs in January.
More on Monday! (Oh, and Rick, Don, Sam and Chris, I have no reliable Internet connection this weekend-- I'm typing this from a public terminal on the Microsoft campus and have no SIM card for my T-Mobile-- so if you guys are going to post at all, this weekend might be a good time. Consider yourselves called out.)
