TiVoToGo spreads its wings
[Archived in Entry]
[Krunker] TiVo, Microsoft, and Intel have announced that TiVoToGo has been updated to support the full line of Windows devices - ranging from Windows XP systems to Portable Media Centers to PlaysForSure certified Smartphones and Pocket PCs. Therefore you can record shows on TiVo and then sync them to these devices and take them to go with you. Very cool indeed.

[Jkontherun.blogs.com] jkOnTheRun: I have been talking about a mini-tablet for quite some time and the notion of a small tablet stoked a lot of people's imaginations when Bill Gates demonstrated the Haiku mockup at WinHEC earlier this year. A lot of the discussion I have seen since this demo has centered around two distinct areas- are there usability issues with a very small Tablet and how well does the Tablet Edition of Windows XP run on a passive digitizer (touchscreen). There have also been hints dropped by Microsoft that future Tablet devices might have either a touchscreen or both an active and passive digitizer so it is important to analyze usability issues on a touchscreen. I am in a unique position to take a look at both of those areas since I used a Sony U750 with the Tablet Edition installed for quite some time. I used the Sony full time for months and have a very good perspective about the usability limitations of the small form factor. I have been asked by many people how I would compare the Sony U Tablet experience with that of the HP tc1100 Tablet PC I now use. This article is intended to hopefully answer some of those questions.
