Scoble recalls this great story of a recent flight he had where the person next to him shared how poor various Microsoft products are. All the while, Scoble was taking notes on his Tablet PC until…:
the person asked…”What is that thing?”
“A Tablet PC, wanna try?”, Scoble replied
“Sure, if it can recognize my handwriting I’ll be amazed.”
I handed him the Tablet PC. He tried a sentence or two. “Wow.”
I showed him a few other things and was about to show off ArtRage, but never got the chance to. The pilot had come on and told us to put our electronic devices away.
As I put the Tablet PC back in my backpack he told me “that is the first thing that Microsoft has made that has caught my attention in more than a decade.”
