After reading mobility and tablet PC veteran James Kendrick's recent articles about his life with tablet PCs I got to wondering about what my ideal life with tablet PCs would be like. Before I get to that, though, check out Kendrick's articles.

In his first, ' A day in the life - a tale of two tablets', he writes about how he uses his three computers -- a small tablet PC (Fujitsu LifeBook P1610), a regular tablet PC (Lenovo ThinkPad X61t), and a media desktop (Apple MacBook Pro) -- in his work and home life, keeping them synchronized and choosing to use one over the other depending on what his work day is going to be like. In his second, ' Using multiple devices intelligently', he goes into a little more detail about how he manages to do all this intelligently and effectively.

Which, by the way, reminds me of an brilliant article posted a couple of months ago on Student Tablet PC on an electronic filing system for managing class notes, handouts, assignments, books etc. That article, ' Studying in the Humanities - Part 1: My Electronic Filing System', is a must-read for any student considering buying a tablet PC for university.

Oh, and one more fun article on tablet PCs is ' Crazy UMPC People' by Tech Art's Miles McCusker who says:

Out of nowhere, I’ve found myself hooked on reading blogs about Ultramobile PC’s (UMPC’s) and tablets-PC. I’m addicted to reading about the lives these people lead, constantly receiving, buying, using and reviewing Tablet PC and UMPC’s as well! I’m not sure where they get the money? I mean, they can’t seem to get enough of them! More annoyingly… neither can I stop reading about whole thing.

He then goes on to discuss whether he needs a UMPC or not. It's a lot of fun.

For what it's worth, my thoughts on my life with tablet PCs is coming up...
