Re: HPCs
I don't think HPCs will ever be effective as a writing or manual-
input tool by themselves; however, they're excellent for carrying
around data from your home/work PC, especially in environments
where your laptop can't go.
A major trend in the Windows CE world is small, "headless"
computers that simply handle or process information that is
gathered through non-keyboard inputs. HPCs are the consumer
products that are being pushed in the public domain, while a
lot of energy is being expended to integrate Windows CE-based
mobile computers in other market applications.
