Fujitsu P1510
Hi David,
Like you I've been interested in the P1510....
However, one thing to remember is that while this appears to be a TabletPC
form-wise, it's not really a TabletPC as it runs regular WinXP not TabletPC
edition. Therefore, you won't have all the features that you would with a
'real TPC'.
You can of course, put a 3rd party handwriting app on it like PenOffice, etc
and get some of the functionality of a TPC.
Just my 2ยข....
