Tried the Fujitsu Stylistic ST5022 Tablet PC at a trade show with AC loaded. Screen size worked great, handwriting recogntion incredible- Like it could read your mind. Cant justify the cost at the moment ($2000 retail) but I will be buying one soon. Somewhere else on this board a doc was using voice recognition on a tablet with Amazing Charts and was tickled to death with the combo. Unfortunatly I cant get to my Personal Messages to give you his info. Hope they fix it.
Regards,
You are probably referring to me, but I am still alive. I did not like any of the tablets or convertable tablets, as they are underpowered in general for continuous speech recognition. I finally got a dual processor Toshiba M400 convertable ( dual 1.86 mhz p4, 2g mem, 100 g drive, 4.5#) with builtin wireless g and builtin EVDO-1 (no external antenna). When using it for AC3, it is set up in landscape mode to keep the ac3 screens all visible and not having to scroll it around. My area has pretty good EVDO coverage and my satellite offices (shared offices) are not well connected by hardwire. I also cover a few hospitals and like to feed data back to the office through the day rather than wait until the evenings or back in the office.
I run dragon 8 with a sennheiser headset thru an andrea usb pod, and get very usable voice dictation (dragon runs on the m400, and loads across a logmein connection to a matched resolution screen on a pc running ac3x and networked in my main office system). The builtin array microphone in this toshiba is fine for dictation recordings that would be transcribed by a human, but it is too error-prone for voice recognition.
I would prefer a slate tablet for the weight, but no slate yet offers cpu power sufficient for speech, evdo preferably builtin (to avoid the external antenna), and running through a RTS type setup to a backend pc.
