Marc Orchant and James Kendrick are happy to bring you show #28 to talk Tablet. James is really excited about the new Fujitsu Loox P70T/V, the refreshed model of the P1510D. It's got a PC Card slot! Will it make it to the US? We hope so. Is there a help program for neophiliacs? James gives a recap of the Tablet PC Webinar that was hosted by Allegiance Technology Partners recently. Can you live without a keyboard? The inking duo give their thoughts on that question that many people ask. The rest of the show is spent discussing Vista RC1 that was just released and how it might affect Tablet owners. With Vista on the horizon should you buy now or wait for the Vista release? Marc recommends trying the Aero Glass skin in Object Desktop 2007 (his Near Vista Experience) to determine if Vista's new Aero Glass interface will help you in your work. Listeners who are testing Vista on your Tablet PCs be sure and submit those bug reports so Microsoft can fix any issues that remain in Vista. Rounding out the show Marc tells us about his experience dealing with the Internet Explorer 7 team to squash a bug. If you are running Vista on a Tablet PC we want to hear from you. Let us know what you think of it so we can share with everyone.

I have to say the sound quality has really dropped off. now there is a lot of pops from breathing right on the mic while talking. It sounds like you are using a headset instead of a mic on the desk. it is REEAALLY hard to understand now.

Guys, I love the podcast, but this one is almost unlistenable. Marc drops out so much I can hear about one word in five. Unlike the above poster, it sounds to me like Skype isn't getting enough CPU time. At least, that's what they've said on TWIT when someone sounds like that.
I love the podcast, and I'm really sorry when it's impossible to listen to. Please, please, please, please pay more attention to audio quality!

Andy I couldn't agree with you more but believe me it's not due to not paying attention to the quality. What we need to do is invest in some equipment to produce better audio, something we will likely do in the future. Unfortnately it will take us a while to get it done. The audio on this show was particularly bad and it's not straightforward what the actual cause was. I decided to release it rather than can it until we could record another one. These shows take me about 5 hours to produce and I don't always have the time I'd like to devote to them, otherwise I would have scrapped this one.

Thanks for listening and I assure you they will get better, hopefully soon.

James, thank you. It's great to know that you guys are trying to improve this.

Andy: Let us know what you think about our new audio gear and sound quality. I think we've solved the Skype dropout issue by each of us recording our own tracks and then mixing them together post-recording. That, and me investing in a much better quality headset and microphone.
