Hi all
I am new to this forum and hoping that someone can help me. I am looking for a suggestion in terms of a 'dumb' tablet pc. Think more like electronic paper. From what I have learned, most products are 20gb+, 700mhz+ etc and function more like pc's.

I am looking for a tablet with the following specs (or similar)

1. Large screen size (ie. as close to a 8.5x11 piece of paper as possilbe)
2. Ability to upload information to a central db or personal pc.
3. Wireless capability not important
4. Enough memory to support a simple application (ie. an html or word doc where the user would select numbers from 1 - 10 or choose letters 'a' 'b' 'c' or 'd')
5. Ability to download the application from a pc. (again lets assume a simple html document or word doc)

Essentially i want to use this for customer feedback and it would replace a sheet of paper.

My budget is in the $400 - $500 CDN range and hope that someone can point me in the right direction - your help is appreciated.

Thanks

Thats as good as your price is going to get. Preety good for anyone you doesnt care at all about anything more than text. Comes with a keyboard that detaches and becomes the case. I thought about buying one of these at one time but I got a Toshiba 3500, but that is out of your price range.

You didn't specify CPU or disk space. For that price you won't get a TPC, but you can look on Ebay for used Stylistic 2300 with dock or 3400 (maybe with), or even cheaper, a Point. These are either EM or passive digitizers (whcih work with fingers as well as pens). Make sure you get OS CD (probably 98 or NT) with pen drivers. May need a network card. Also Google for these units. Another possibility is the Qbe, but Stylistic/Points are more readily available off-lease from hospitals, etc.

OOPS-didn't notice the CDN-in that price range it'll probably be a ST2300 or Point 510, both with dock and accessories as required.

Oops again-at that price perhaps Point 1600. Also, some Fujitsu notebooks have touch screens-but you seemed to prefer a Tablet form factor.

I'm wondering about the specs of the unit you want. For example: do you need a colour screen?
