Tablet PC definishone-tablet PC refers to a slate- or tablet- shaped mobile computer device, equipped with a touchscreen or stylus.

history-It's hard to believe it's been three years since “Pocket PCs” hit the market. It was on April 19th, 2000, that Microsoft unveiled the new handheld OS–and none too late–at a time when the Palm-size PCs running Windows CE 2 had nearly convinced everyone that Palm was the only reasonable choice. I had a Compaq Aero 2180, probably one of the better Palm-size PCs, and I remember how frustrating it was to use it. The frustration was mostly the near-usefulness of the thing. If it were totally useless the frustration would have been short-lived–they call it “buyer's remorse.” The trouble was the thing was //so close// to being useful. Pocket PC came along, though, and finally hit the mark, with a few bug fixes and enhancements later on. That event claims number 10 in Brighthand's account of the “Ten Events That Shaped Pocket PC.” Some of the events don't seem so dramatic to me, but everything I could come up with is accounted for there. I wonder what the next big event to shape Pocket PC will be? I bet it has to do with smartphones. Read all 10 at [|Brighthand].
 * Joel's Note:** I, too, had one of the first Pocket PCs, and distinctly remember telling people to buy Palm because it was just too hard to navigate. The Pocket PC has definitely come along way since those days.
