Marc Orchant and James Kendrick are back with a special show #22! We have a distinguished guest, Joel Rasmussen, the producer of a documentary film soon to be released nationally in the US.  Before the Music Dies is a unique look at the independent music industry and promises to be a great film for music lovers.  The film features commentary from such music greats as Dave Matthews, Erikah Badu, Bonnie Raitt, Branford Marsalis and Elvis Costello and was screened at the recent SXSW festival in Austin.  Joel is an interesting person to chat with and we had a lot of fun talking about music and the big label music industry that makes it so difficult for good indies to get a career going.

Tablet enthusiasts and regular listeners who are wondering what we are doing talking about music on the OnTheRun with Tablet PC show can rest easy.  Joel discusses how he used his Tablet PC and MindManager during the making of the film and describes at length how the combo enable him to conduct better meetings with good results.  He is using an older Gateway M275 Tablet PC so we have a chat about what he should be looking at for an upgrade.  It is a good show with never a dull moment so give it a listen and see if you agree.  Thanks to Joel for coming on the show with us and we wish him all the best with his film, Before the Music Dies.  Keep up with the film and the tour schedule on the official web site.

Enjoy the show!

Marc Orchant and James Kendrick are back with show #21! We give ESPN and Entertainment Tonight a run for their money to kick the show off. In this one hour show we celebrate Tracy Hooten Day and pay homage to her recent article comparing many different Tablet PCs and her excellent overview that describes how she uses the advanced note-taking capabilities of Tablet Enhancements for Outlook (TEO) 3.0 beta.    The first Origamis/ UMPCs are finding their way into the hands of consumers and we take some journalists to task over the rather lame reviews that have been published.

Marc Orchant and James Kendrick are back with this week's stroll through Tablet Lane.  Listener John Lange let us know that the Fujitsu P1510D is now available in MicroCenter retail stores and we discuss that a bit.  Thanks for that tip, John.  DialKeys is all the buzz on Origami devices but did you know it's already been shipping on the Fujitsu?  Marc has just returned from a trip to a GTD seminar and fills us in on what's happening with Eric Mack who also attended.  We want to see that home-brew battery pack, Eric.  Marc's trip gave him ample opportunities to demo the Tablet PC to a number of people and let him generally annoy the flight crew on his flight.  Lastly, we have a good discussion about Office 2007 and what it brings to the pen and slate for Tablet owners.

Marc Orchant and James Kendrick take a different tack with this show and address some very thoughtful questions from listener Rob Halligan.  Rob wants to know how to keep his desktop, smartphone, and soon to be purchased Tablet PC or UMPC all synchronized so his PIM data and files will be with him everywhere he goes.  His questions get the two of us into a discussion of Office 2007, how to keep files and information better organized, and Marc drops the bomb about the Outlook 2007 book he is writing for Wiley.  Wow, what a show!  We even presented the first Golden Slate award for best special effects (or something to that effect) in a Tablet PC related video demo.

Rob's thoughtful questions got him a copy of the More Space book from Marc so you never know what might happen.  Get those questions and/or ideas for future shows to Marc and I.  Rob did.
