In a recent publication addressing Tablet PC sales, Tablet PC Sales are Slowly Gaining Momentum, Garter specifically calls out use of Tablet PCs in education, particularly higher education as a dominant market driver of convertible form factors.
The article also states, "In the past year, there has been growing interest from students, mostly in higher education," and "Inserting nontext characters into notes or new documents — Many higher-education students and faculty in math, chemistry, physics and engineering are using tablet PCs." I just pulled out two of the several possible quotes from the report about Tablet PCs in education, all of which are address the growing role of education in the Tablet PC market. I specifically see that the efforts through Microsoft Research, such as with its RFPs and workshops, has been a major driver of this interest, as well as commercial software applications extending value.

Fujitsu LifeBook P1610
The Age
t's about half the size of a typical notebook PC and weighs a little less than a kilogram, yet the LifeBook P1610 is still a surprisingly functional little machine.
The P1610 is a Tablet PC, so its 22.6cm touchscreen can be twisted back on itself to lie face up on the keyboard. You can then use the included stylus to write on the display or tap away at the on-screen keyboard, menus and buttons. It's a fast and convenient way to use your PC when you're on the go.
Those who prefer to interact with the notebook in a more conventional manner can use the keyboard to type but be warned - it's about two-thirds the average size, so it's not ideal for those with big hands.
Student Tablet PC Taking Applications for Author Position
I think we need some fresh blood here. Between school and busy college lives, we’re having trouble keeping the site as active as we’d like.
Instead of letting it just suffer a slow, painful decline, we’re opening up the lines for an additional author. Maybe we just need help.
Why would you want this position as STPC author?
Well, if you’re posting a lot anyway and you’d like a little formal recognition for it
If you wouldn’t mind a little extra cash each month from google ads
If you’re looking for a job in technology (getting your name out is a great networking tool)
If you’re looking for an activity you can put on your resume that doesn’t require frilly meetings and elections
What would it require?
A love/passion for Tablet PCs and/or all touch technology
You need to be a student, and more than a “student of life”
At least 10 posts a month. That’s only one every three days. Easy as pie (usually).
So how do you apply?
Send your name and a brief background to tracy@studenttabletpc.com
Attach/Include a sample of your writing, preferably an article you would post if you were selected. No length requirement, but use your own judgment. It could be a post you already made on your own personal blog or a forum.
