Marc Orchant and James Kendrick chatted for an hour with the number one Tablet PC evangelist, Robert Scoble, who did the interview sitting on the red couch. Robert was raring to talk about a whole lot of wide-ranging topics and everyone will take a lot away from this show. He talks about his Toshiba M205 and M4 and elaborates which one he carries and why. We talk about the Gateway Convertible Notebook and the improvements being noted with Tablet PCs appearing in more retail space. Scoops of note- the MSN Virtual Earth team are releasing something really cool in the next few days and the Microsoft Tablet PC team will have a major announcement "really soon" (we tried but Robert wouldn't say exactly when).
Future prediction from Robert- next year will be the year of HDTV so get ready.
Links of note from the show:

- Blogging wives- Celebrating Women and Maryamie
- Naked Conversations- Robert promises a copy of the book to James on the air! You are all my witnesses.

Hey dude,
Think your feed isn't picking up the mp3 and making it an enclosure (at least thats what I am seeing).
TIA

Another enjoyable show, which I finally got a chance to hear today. However, I notice James once again points out searchable text is essential for ink blogging. And once again, no mention of how poor Sumocat makes the extra effort to get that done in his ink blog. :(

Hey Sumocat. I have to admit I didn't know your ink was searchable. Maybe you should write up (if you haven't already) how you've done that. Your blog is in my feeds but I thought your ink posts were graphics. :(

The ink is graphic, but I add searchable text and links (I keep hearing how important those things are). I write in Journal, grab the writing area as an image, then convert the ink to text (started doing this on the Buzz too). No automated process, but I have it streamlined pretty well. Plus, the text conversion gives me a chance to proofread.
