UMPC and Tablet PC make it into Mix08 keynote
I wondered if Microsoft would forget about the UMPC and Tablet–it didn’t. In the Mix08 keynote today, during an Aston-Martin demo, they used a Samsung UMPC running a demo app written in WPF. And in the demo after that they had a casting-director demo an app running on a Tablet PC. And best yet? The demoer walked around with the Tablet! Finally. Finally. Finally. I tried to take a screenshot, but the video stream failed right at that point. (Flash or Silverlight or Air is leaking memory like mad. My system is almost dead. Copy/Paste is working intermittently. Closing apps to try to make it all the way through the keynote.)
It’s good to see that the UMPC and Tablet PC didn’t get overlooked. Maybe next year we’ll see multi-touch and Silverlight or maybe even one of the key speakers using a Tablet/UMPC during their talk.
