Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005

Microsoft Corp. announced Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2004 (named changed to 2005), the latest version of its Tablet PC operating system, on Monday November 17, 2003 at COMDEX Las Vegas 2003.

And it is a FREE upgrade 8)

Key features of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 include the following:

Enhanced "ink to text" experience throughout Windows and in any Windows application, makes the pen a mainstream input device. Inserting text is easier with the new Tablet PC Input Panel (TIP), and word and case recognition is improved. Developers and users can even add "rules" for how handwriting should be recognized in certain text fields (e.g., e-mail messages, addresses, URLs).

Integration in Microsoft Office 2003 and Office OneNote 2003 offers enhanced productivity by allowing users to annotate anywhere in Microsoft® Office Word, Excel or PowerPoint® 2003, and send handwritten e-mail in Office Outlook® 2003. OneNote (TM) on the Tablet PC brings together ink, text and Web content in one application.

New capabilities enable developers to create powerful productivity applications. Developers can integrate pen and ink in Web-based line-of-business solutions. Companies such as FranklinCovey Co. and Corel Corp. are deeply integrating pen and ink in their applications. This support makes ink as natural to use as text or any other feature.

TIP

tablet input panel (TIP) has greatly been enhanced in Lonestar. I've used it for a few hours and realized that I didn't want to go back to the old, original style. The new TIP allowed me to edit words before they were submitted. This greatly enhanced my efficiency on the Tablet PC.

:D

Several places are reporting that the beta of Lonestar will be available in March 2004. The FAQs were updated to reflect this information.
