Mobile Worker Issues
• Mobile computing is a requirement• Usage is limited by clamshell designs
– Displays are viewed as barriers– Typing in meetings is distracting– Not optimized for classrooms– Not designed for walking and computing
• Too many devices – notebook PC, handheld, spiral notebook, planner, and sticky notes
• Online everywhere, always
Previous Barriers for Pen Computing
• Devices were too large– Components were big, took too much power, and were
‘thermally challenged’– Little emphasis on human-focused design
• Software was poor– Windows was not designed for keyboard-less systems– Virtual keyboards and digitizer interfaces were not
optimal– Required specialized application development
• Minimal connectivity options– Wireless wide-area network was not reality
Why Now?
• Mobile worker requirements have not changed• Hardware technology is mobile-optimized
– Wide availability of commoditized thin components (12.5mm)
– Improved battery densities and chemistries– Experienced in thin notebook designs
• Wireless technology is real– 802.11 is available– Inexpensive
• Windows XP Tablet PC Edition– Compatible with current applications– Pen enabled

Benefits of the Tablet PC
• Anywhere usage– Grab and go– No lap required – carries like a spiral notebook– Access to information, both local and remote
• Quick, natural capture of thoughts– Write or draw – Annotation on documents– Handwritten forms
• Runs all Microsoft Windows XP applications• Rich multimedia presentations

Healthcare Case Study
Need to gather patient symptoms
Patient answers online diagnostic form
Need quick access to patient records
Medical records are available through EMR System
Doctors need access to up-to-date data quickly
Doctor gets wireless access to server-based reference material
Unpleasant patient therapy
Engaging video and patient training
Problem Solution
Field Sales Case Study
Customers with little time and short attention spans
Ability to annotate on presentations while going through multimedia slide show
Need to gather customer info in a digital format
Use online forms to capture order at point of sale
Must have customer signatures
Signature utility allows for capture and protection of customer signatures
Want to use all applications on one system
Media rich presentations, signature capture, forms and standard productivity applications run on one device
Problem Solution
Higher Education Case Study
Need a way to easily capture and index notes
Software that supports note taking, ink searching, and drawing
Too much to carry and too many devices
All-in-one device supports E-Books, note taking, and productivity applications
Difficult to manipulate info once captured (math formulas, data)
Standard data manipulation tools (Cut, Paste, Search) as well as new utilities (Snippet)
Difficult to collaborate in workgroups
Built-in wireless networking and collaboration tools improve workgroup experience
Problem Solution
Tablet PC Impact
• Changing the way people work with their computers– You don’t think of it as a PC
• You truly want to take it everywhere• Becomes your window to the world
– It opens the door for broader use – back to the way you were taught to do things – write, draw, talk
– True integration into your everyday life
