Then every room can have at least one (retractable, perhaps) cable that is guaranteed to fit your tablet/phone/PDA/whatever. Imagine, you'd never have to take a power brick on business trips again!Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15869145970065791767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217714482901352786.post-3543768509383548432006-01-06T16:59:24.163-08:002006-01-06T16:59:24.163-08:00I do think you're on to something. Our bodies ...I do think you're on to something. Our bodies and mind are hooked together and personal experience says getting a different perspective is sometimes as easy as changing position. My reading position at a desk is identical, btw. If we're going to expect students to think, then we have to let them sit/stand/walk around so they can. I also agree that the tablet mode is about thinking and less about doing. It slows me down, which I like. There is definitely a time to use it and I'm glad it's there.Barrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217714482901352786.post-10911288863965222212006-01-17T15:29:19.613-08:002006-01-17T15:29:19.613-08:00Some things I've noticed when using my tablet(...Some things I've noticed when using my tablet(s) over the past several years... <br><br>1. Having the tablet at an angle while writing is very helpful - both for the glare and for the posture. The TC1000 had feet that would prop it up at maybe 5 degrees when in portrait mode and without the keyboard attached. (Not sure if the 1100 has the same feature).<br><br>2. Larger screens make it harder to find a spot & angle without annoying glare from above.<br><br>3. Matte finish on the screen helps to diffuse the glare when it is there.Chris Brandthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13921803787659948785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217714482901352786.post-3930662160910901842006-01-17T15:40:35.970-08:002006-01-17T15:40:35.970-08:00Good comments all.

In the meantime, I'm excited by some of the advances in battery technology and even more so by those in fuel cell technology. I could live with a 10 hour battery (if it could charge in < 6).<br><br>Barry, you said it well about the Tablet slowing you down enough to think--something all to rare in this world, let alone in the internet world. I know it helps me keep my email shorter and more concise. <br><br>Chris B. The TC1100 has those feet, too, and I use them just the same way. Love this machine... Good observations on the screens and glare. We'll have to keep those in mind as we search for a new standard model.Mark Paytonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06888307842722370274noreply@blogger.com
