Tablet PC Inking Plugin For Acrobat

Good friend of GottaBeMobile.com James Province shot us a link to a video showing an Inking plugin for Acrobat. What’s the best part? Well, James is the star of that video! The post that is over on the Acrobat Blogs is informative and also has a video overview of the application in action. This new inking plugin looks like the perfect solution for iediting in Acrobat if you don’t want to purchase a 3rd party PDF application. The cost of this plugin is $69.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
Stepping into history, Barack Hussein Obama grasped the reins of power as America's first black president on Tuesday, saying the nation must choose "hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord" to overcome the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Windows search in more linking friendly

Way back when Windows Vista shipped one of my favourite features was the Search box in the start menu and in Explorer.
Unfortunately it was a bit unwieldy when you were using the pen. I found this really annoying and even had a go at writing a proof of concept application called SearchPad to try make Vista Start Search and Explorer a little more pen friendly.

The Windows 7 Beta makes this a little better. When you click in a the search field in the start menu and launch the tip your pen strokes are recognised and inserted into the search field as you write – often even before the recognition result appears in the TIP itself

Which is the best for notebooks: Window 7 or Linux

So which is better suited for netbooks? For the mass consumer audience, there's little doubt: Windows 7 is superior. Installing new software and updating existing software in Linux isn't for the faint-hearted, and most people won't be able to figure out how to do it. In addition, Windows 7 has eye candy and extra features that Linux lacks. Most people also won't want to tackle the learning curve they'll face when moving from Windows to Linux.
Beyond that, Microsoft will spend countless millions of marketing dollars pushing Windows 7, and you can bet a good portion of that will go toward promoting it on netbooks. Since no one company owns Linux, there won't be any marketing muscle for Linux.
With all that being said, a Linux-based netbook should cost less than a Windows 7-based one. The operating system costs will be less, and depending on the version of Linux installed, may be zero. In addition, Linux can work with lighter-weight hardware than Windows 7, and so the hardware costs can be less as well.
So Linux won't completely vanish on netbooks, but Linux netbooks will become a small niche, primarily for budget-conscious technically oriented users.

HP mini 2140 netbook video review

I have been using the HP Mini 2140 netbook for a few days now and I am more impressed with it the longer I use it. It is the smallest 10-inch netbook around and yet has all the features you’d expect including an ExpressCard slot. This 10 minute video shows the Mini 2140 in action, surfing the web, playing video etc., and gives a tour around the device. I show off both the 6-cell and 3-cell batteries and also show how big (or little) the power brick is. Enjoy the show!
