Unfortunately, the show was released showing the hosts to be Marc Orchant and I which created confusion among listeners. I heard from several people who were confused as to our participation in the new show and wondering if Marc and I were not doing our OnTheRun with Tablet PCs podcast any longer. I immediately posted a comment to the TPN blog pointing out the host information was not correct and asked them to fix it for the next show. Perry indicated he needed help to fix it but it would happen. I told him it was the RSS enclosure tags that needed to be fixed.

TPN released a second show a couple of days ago and once again the podcast shows Marc and I to be the hosts, extending the confusion with listeners not to mention the fact that iTunes search is screwed up as a result. I posted a comment to this second show asking Perry and TPN to remove both shows until they get the host information corrected and then re-release the two shows. This would benefit both their listeners and ours and make sure that no search engines were returning incorrect information. I promptly received an email from Perry stating they were working on it and hoped to have a fix for it soon.

A check of the TPN site this morning shows that both podcasts are still being distributed with the improper information and my comment to Perry is not showing because they are not releasing it from moderation. This means only they can see my comment and not visitors to their blog. I don’t like being a bad guy but this is not cool and it looks like they are trying to keep this information from their listeners. Since my comment is not published as it should have been so at least I can inform their show listeners that Marc and I are not in fact hosting the show I have no recourse but to inform our listeners here on my blog. Once again, I am asking TPN publicly to take both shows down until they fix the information and then re-release them. Continuing to deliberately offer the shows for download shows a disrespect to my original two requests that they take it down and fix it. There is no need for them to continue to offer the shows for download and perpetuate the improper impression the error is giving to listeners.

TPN, please remove both shows until a fix is in place. Thank you.

Intro- Marc Orchant & James Kendrick

Marc and I sat down with Mike Jetter, the founder and CTO of Mindjet, the company who, as Marc put it, produces the best mind mapping program on the planet- MindManager. Regular listeners are familiar with how much both Marc and I love MindManager and we were very excited to have Mike come on the show and give us some good information about the upcoming new version 6 of the mind mapping program. Mike gives us the scoop about all the new features such as integration with PowerPoint, Visio and Excel, and a host of other features you’ll have to listen to the show to hear about. We asked Mike how Mindjet came to support the Tablet PC so completely since version X5 and his insights on using MindManager on the Tablet PC are very interesting. You will especially want to give the show a listen if you are a current MindManager user, and if you don’t use it now you will want to give the free trial a test drive after you hear the interview. Thanks to Mike Jetter for spending time with us, Hobie Swan (Mindjet) for setting it up, and to you listeners for your continued support of the show.

In case you missed it, here’s a list of the new features in MindManager Pro 6:

• New Microsoft Excel integration: Embed spreadsheet information into maps
• New Microsoft Visio export: Quickly create flow charts, map out processes
• Improved Microsoft PowerPoint integration: Quickly create and preview slides
• New editable outline view: Switch from map mode to standard linear mode
• New “Add Attachments”: Add multiple documents, URLs to each map topic
• New Topic Alerts: Receive alarms for appointments created in your maps
• New Organizational Chart view: Create dynamic, data-rich org charts
• New Ink-enabled Notes: Adds new power to mapping on a Tablet PC
• Improved Map Formatting commands: Make maps look better than ever—fast!

00:00 Intro- Marc Orchant & James Kendrick

Marc and I had a fun conversation with Tracy Hooten, the driving force behind The Student Tablet PC blog. The Student Tablet PC blog is a wonderful source of information for students using Tablet PCs but non-students can find a wealth of information, too. Tracy tells us how she likes her new Toshiba M200 with the wide-angle high resolution screen and other topics related to her usage of the Tablet at school. We talk about scanning textbooks and other large works into the Tablet and Tracy gives us some insight into the new beta version of PDF Annotator. We had a little problem with Skype so please excuse some annoying noise problems that crop up from time to time. Enjoy the show and leave us some feedback.

Hosts: Marc Orchant and James Kendrick

If you have followed audioblogging and videoblogging for any length of time you are familiar with the work of Eric Rice. He is the founder of Audioblog and he’s been producing audio shows for four years and done it all on the Mac platform. He recently made Tablet PC news when he announced the purchase of a Toshiba R15 Tablet PC and Marc Orchant and I knew we had to get Eric on the show. This show is the Eric Rice interview and I have to tell you we had a great chat with him about the Toshiba, the Tablet PC in general and we even broached the subject of a future Mac Tablet. Enjoy the show and as always we love to hear from you so leave us your comments on the blog. Let us know what you think of the new intro and don’t miss the promo from Ian Dixon of The Media Center Show you can find right here on The Podcast Network.

LISTEN HERE 

Marc Orchant is back this week as co-host and we celebrate this special milestone 20th show with special guest Nicole Simon from Germany. Nicole is an uber blogger with a number of blogs in both English and German as well has her own podcasts. She just received her brand new Lenovo ThinkPad X41 Tablet PC and found the out of box experience to be less than desired so we brought her on the show to let everyone know what she thinks. We have a great (long) discussion in spite of repeated problems with Skype and covered all manner of topics from spamware, accessories, screen protectors and many programs. Give it a listen and you’re bound to find something to take away from this show. Nicole even got to rant about the inability to install the Experience Pack and Education Pack on her German ThinkPad. She is also no doubt the first person to describe the ThinkPad Tablet PC as a “cutie”. Thanks to Nicole for chatting with us and we hope you enjoy the show.

Marc Orchant was away but guest co-host Greg Hughes graciously stepped in and we have an action packed show. Greg fills us in on the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet PC that he’s been lucky enough to use for the past month so anyone interested in this fine convertible (or those anxiously awaiting delivery) will get some good information to take away. After the break we shift focus to the hot topic of the week, WindowsVista Beta 1, and round up the information that is starting to emerge from those brave enough to install it on a Tablet PC. Enjoy the show and as always we appreciate your feedback! (We missed you Marc!)

Join me as I spend another lovely morning chatting with co-host Marc Orchant about a wide range of topics, some of them even related to the Tablet PC. You never know what you’ll hear us talk about and we have a good chat about the Denver Broncos and the Albuquerque Isotopes and even get a history of the fine city of Albuquerque. Marc wipes his Tablet clean and rebuilds it and shares that lovely experience with all of us. The new Motion LS800 mini-Tablet PC was released and we can’t help sharing our thoughts and opinions about this innovative little slate. Enjoy the show and let us know how we’re doing.

LISTEN HERE

Welcome listeners joining us from the iTunes Podcast library! You’ll find a great source of information about the Tablet PC here on The Tablet PC Show on The Podcast Network. This is a very special Tablet PC Show #15 as Josh Einstein of EinsteinTech, the developer of the Tablet Enhancements for Outlook (TEO) joins us for a fun discussion about his program, his Tablet PCs and a host of other topics. TEO is a program that corrects a function missing from Outlook by adding natural ink capability that turns Outlook into a totally ink-enabled program for the Tablet PC. Josh bit the bullet and even installed Skype so we could do this interview and we thank him for that, even though he is not a fan of Skype. Marc and I do our best to embarrass Josh with gushing praise for the program that both of us use daily and Josh gives us insights into his development of the next version of TEO, version 3.0, and shares some of the upcoming goodies he is adding to an already solid program. Josh tells us what it was like to leave his “real” job and develop software full time, something that TEO users are already benefiting from. Sit back and enjoy the show and listen carefully if you are looking for information about the timing of the next version of TEO. Think voice recording, Skype integration and auto call logging in Outlook Journal. Oh, Marc challenges Microsoft to buy TEO and roll it into native Outlook. Bring it on!
