Gates To Unveil The Tablet

By John Foley


Bill Gates will be in New York this week to present a new look for Windows-based computers that's been a long time coming-tablet-size PCs. Nearly two years after first describing the concept, Microsoft plans to announce Nov. 7 that its Windows XP Tablet PC edition is available from more than a dozen manufacturers, including Acer, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Toshiba, and ViewSonic. Software vendors such as Adobe, Autodesk, Corel, Groove Networks, and SAP will demonstrate applications developed for the devices that use digital pens or keyboards for data entry. Tablets will likely cost about the same as high-end notebooks.
