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!

Otr_tpc_cover_art_newThis 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.

Otr_tpc_cover_art_new Marc Orchant and James Kendrickare back with show #40, yes, Marc is back for this show!  Our hostshave a typically far-ranging discussion that covers diverse topicsrelating to the Tabletscape.  They look analytically at the big newsthis week of the Acer/ Gateway merger and how this might impact theTablet PC space.  Dell is entering the Tablet market later this yearand the impact on the enterprise market is fodder for meaningfuldiscussion.  Marc wants to know when we’re going to see an applicationthat is fitting of the capabilities of the Tablet PC and laments thefact we haven’t seen one yet.

Tablet PCs aren’t penetrating the enterprise muchbut employees of those enterprises see the benefits of the Tabletimmediately upon exposure.  Maybe Dell will help penetrate that marketso employees can get their hands on them.

James is testing the HP 2710p Tablet PCand discusses how this Tablet straddles the enterprise and consumerspace.  Does the 2710p stack up?  Inquiring minds want to know.  Theconclusion the hosts reach is that the trackstick is "flatly nubby".You have been warned.

Eric Mack interviewed Marc a while back andexamined the contents of Marc’s mobile gear bag and has posted a seriesof podcasts on his web site.  The podcasts are well worth a listen sogo grab them without further adieu.

Marc discusses his new blogging gig at BlogNationand the upcoming Office 2.0 conference where industry luminaries aremeeting to discuss the mobilization of Web 2.0.  Marc will be coveringthe conference on BlogNation and I’m sure he’ll come back with somegreat insights for future shows.

Enjoy the show!

It’s show # 31 and Marc Orchant and James Kendrick love Vista on their Tablet PCs but there are some gotchas lurking if you are not careful.    James loves Internet Explorer 7 on his UMPC and tells us how to get the ability to use the TIP in web forms back.  Marc shares a method to get Hotmail Plus email into Outlook without all those pesky notifications.  Marc’s wife has a new 20" iMac and Marc wants to put Vista on it.  Is the Aero Glass UI in Vista worth the overhead?  Find out what the Inking Duo have to say about that.  Congratulations to the five finalists in the GottaBeMobile essay contest to win a Motion LS800 Tablet PC.  Fellow geek Matt Miller is one of those finalists- big shout out to Matt (aka palmsolo)!  James is impressed when Mickey Segal pulls an LS800 out of his sports jacket pocket in Boston.  Asus is getting everyone excited with their two new entries- the R2H UMPC and the R1F 13.3" Tablet PC (OnlyUMPC has a good review of the R2H).  Marc is impressed with the Mac Office Project Center- why can’t we have the same thing on the Windows side?   Neither inker likes the Business Contact Manager for Outlook but it could be a lack of dedication to make it work.  James and Kevin Tofel are celebrating over 3 million visitors to jkOnTheRun and James leaks some information about a big giveaway coming up.

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.
