Steve Gillmor on the promise of the Tablet P C as "idea processor" (Thinking Space). And what's the killer app? Ink is an idea processor. It provides a unique service, the ability to capture ideas in process and massage them into shape. Its target market - [CxOs], architects, and creative types - offers an infinite return on investment. One good idea can launch a company. I think I would find the focus on Hand Writing to be a pain. Having a wireless Key Board (especially something as portable as the Stowaway or that projected [Virtual Keyboard]) would be cool. Likewise having an option to have drawing objects turned into nicely rounded items (e.g. you scribble an oval, it turns into a Mind Mapping node).
Dan Bricklin focuses on reading rather than writing.
Nov22 follows up with some history to support his claim that current tablets aren't a huge step beyond the old attempts, but that their time has come because (a) the net has resulted in us doing lots more onscreen reading, and (b) wireless connectivity untethers the tablet from the net.
Ah, how I wish the Momenta Small Talk-based laptop had survived.
