Leaders From the Tablet PC Industry Address the Future of Mobile Computing

NORWALK, Conn., Aug 14, 2002 - Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC(R)), is hosting its second Tablet PC Summit(TM) on September 24, 2002 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, California as part of the Planet PDA conference. This special workshop will showcase the most advanced organization-level tablet PC solutions and demonstrate the state-of-the-art paperless environment.

After a few false starts, tablet PCs are once again gaining significant momentum in the marketplace -- in no small part due to Microsoft's Tablet PC initiative and bold, new innovations in hardware and software development from the industry at large. The tablet PC -- a device that offers a larger touch screen, support for full-color, high-resolution images, and an interface extremely similar to your desktop computer -- has been referred to by some as today's "Super PDA." Today's latest tablet PC products offer a variety of advanced features, including advanced handwriting recognition, digital ink software, speech recognition, integrated Wi-Fi technology, and a host of expansion possibilities.

TMC President Rich Tehrani believes new technologies such as the tablet PC play an important role in enriching the computer user's productivity. "The investment in a tablet PC is a smart one. This supercharged portable gives us the opportunity to share information, work together on content, send notifications, and update tasks among all pertinent parties at the same time, no matter where we are at the time. These unique features will help us reduce errors and eliminate lost information since everyone is kept in the loop," said Tehrani.

Tablet PC Summit(TM) offers a first-class forum for learning how tablet PCs -- when effectively deployed in an organization -- can dramatically improve productivity and increase profitability. Today's latest tablet PC products offer a variety of advanced features, including integrated wireless networking, advanced handwriting recognition, speech recognition and expansion possibilities that will one day enable the paperless office.

Imagine a boardroom full of executives, managers and support staff conducting a meeting where no whiteboard, no note pads and no recording equipment are required. Each meeting attendee will be sharing notes on their personal tablets. Remote attendees can participate by using their tablets and a wireless connection.

Marc Robins, TMC's Vice President of Publications and Trade Shows, feels the strength of Tablet PC Summit(TM) lies in the pioneering companies participating. "Starting with Acer, Infocater, and ViewSonic, this super workshop will compare tablet PCs, laptops, ultra portables and PDAs as they relate to an effective enterprise handheld computing strategy. Attendees will find out which device is best for their organization. There is simply no other event where attendees can review the latest tablet PC offerings from industry leading vendors and how these offerings can help their organizations become more efficient," said Robins.
