You may have listened to the final OnTheRun with Tablet PCs podcast by now.  The podcast that I did with Marc Orchant came to an end with the untimely death of Marc earlier this month.  I expected heavier than normal listenership due to its being the final production but I couldn’t figure out until this morning why it has been even heavier than expected.  Messing around on the web as I usually do I found this which I believe explains the high listenership:

This is gratifying because it shows how respected Marc’s reputation was in not only the tech world but in the major news outlets.  Awesome!

This is the final episode of OnTheRun with Tablet PCs podcast that hasenjoyed a run of over two years.  Marc Orchant and I had realized thatwe could not continue to do the show with our busy schedules and wereplanning a final show when Marc passed away.  I still wanted to do afinal show to thank all of our listeners who have followed the showover its long run so this final show is a mix of highlights from theentire show history.  Mixing the show was difficult for me to do but Iwanted to give the listeners one last listen at the wit and genius ofMarc Orchant.

Thanks for supporting us and goodbye Marc, my friend.

Marc Orchant and James Kendrick sit down (finally) for show #34 and have a chance to ruminate on finally meeting face to face at the Tablet PC meetup at the CES recently in Las Vegas.  Both hosts are taller than they thought and give a good wrapup and discuss impressions of the CES.  There were two new Tablet PCs announced at the CES and the hosts give their thoughts about the two devices.  UMPCs are enablers, not limiters as some reviewers seem to think.

Enjoy the show!

Marc Orchant and James Kendrick sit down (finally) for show #33 and talk about the new Fujitsu P1610 mini-Tablet PC with the 8.9" touchscreen that incorporates near perfect palm rejection technology.  Marc is heading to Finland- will he use the Tablet PC backlight as a flashlight for his upcoming visit?  The discussion quickly switches over to all the Tablet PC owners who are trying to install Vista RTM on their precious, and the dynamic duo touches on whether they will be installing Vista on their production devices any time soon.  Office 2007 file compatibility issues are in the news and Chuck Frey has a new mind-mapping book that Marc likes plus there’s an interview with Eric Mack discussing mind-mapping on a Tablet PC.  If you listen closely you’ll get a tip for using MindManager on a touch-screen Tablet PCs that lets you ink away in that fine program.  It’s a good show and Marc and James think you’ll like it.

Enjoy the show!
