I was considering a hand held for my Home Gauge software but by the time I buy the hand held package and the ppc and laptop, I am better off going the tablet route. I have heard good and bad about these units and would appreciate any input from you guys and gals. I am tired of writing and then spending so much time back at the office at the computer.
Also, does Vista incorporate all the featutes that windows tablet edition has. Thanks, John |

Hi John,
I use the Fujitsu T series myself and have been very happy with it, I also have a Dell X51 pda which I have never really got along well with. Personally I believe that the larger screen and ability to upload the pictures directly into the report on site are major advantages. I can't help you withthe windows vista question, but I would imagine that there is a tablet Vista version out there, the microsoft site should have that information.

John:
I have been using a tablet for a while now. I got a Gateway CX2620 for a decent price. It's got as much memory and a bigger hard drive than my desktop. It has a 13 inch screen, which is a bit bigger than I would have liked, but it has a burner, and 5 in 1 media card reader. Just take the card out of the camera and stick it into the tablet. Real easy to upload the photos. I use a small Cannon Pixma printer and do my reports on site. I am using XP tablet edition. Don't know about Vista but I've head about some issues with it. Check out www.tigerdirect.com Good prices and good service Hope this helps Cheers </IMG> Doug Cossar CMI, NHI Accurate Home Inspection Services Inc.

I also use the Fujitsu T series tablets and have been very happy with them. They have a card reader slot so I can insert the camera card directly into the tablet and upload pictures very easily. I am waiting/looking for a camera that has bluetooth capability that will allow real time loading of pictures directly into the report as I take the picture. That would save an additional 15 minutes.

John, I think you'll be satisfied with the Fujitsu. I just purchased on myself (t4215), and am very satisfied.

The Fujitsu t4215 is available with the indoor/outdoor screen. There are many versions of this computer. I bought mine from laptopauthority.com and received it in just a couple of days.
