Marc Orchant and James Kendrick are back with show #26! Listener Jonas Knipper sent us a great email with a question and a suggestions so this is the Jonas Knipper show! Jonas wants to know what slate will fit his needs for school and he wants us to talk about the software each of us uses on our Tablets so this entire show is devoted to those two topics. We discuss a lot of programs that we use and get into why we use them so maybe you can find a gem you are not currently using. Thanks for writing us, Jonas. Marc tells us about slickdeals.net, a great spot to find super cheap deals on all kinds of hardware and accessories, and we talk a little bit about the discontinued HP tc1100 that you can still buy. Are they building new ones or not? We make an open offer for any HP executive who wants to come on the show and discuss the tc1100.
Enjoy the show!

Special thanks to Tiedye Keith for the great song "Vulnerable" with vocals by Tony Lindsay of Santana.
Thanks for the mention, guys! I am so in love with SnagIt and Camtasia it's probably unhealthy.
Don't forget InkGestures...

Great show - good to hear how you're using the various bits of software - nice to know I'm using similar things to the masters of Tablet PCs ;)
One Question - do you use Voice Recognition - if so, the built in one, or Dragon (or ViaVoice). Am dabbling with them at the mo, and wondered what your thoughts were.
Keep up the good work
cheers
Nick

Nick, I do in fact use both speech recognition programs a fair bit. The Tablet integrated is very good but Dragon's offers quicker high accuracy and better system command controls. I have the new version 9 of Dragon on the way today and plan to discuss it on a future show.

I'd just like to say thanks for providing another informative show and let you know about three new Intel Centrino vulnerabilities that will affect your TC1100.

It was interesting to see what software you guys are using - and it would be equally interesting to hear about what software you would like to see, either as embellishments to existing applications or stuff you've dreamt up. Great show as always. (UK listener)
