Review of Viewsonic/Microsoft Smart Display
Posted by Janak Parekh in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 03:26 PM
Smart Displays are essentially WinCE tablets that act as Remote Desktop clients, much like what you can do using a laptop or desktop connecting to a Windows XP Professional box; however, these are solid-state and have better battery life. Despite this, the reviewer had mixed opinions on it. The biggest problem, it seems, is that it's significantly overpriced - for $999 the reviewer would rather have gotten a notebook.
Do you think this aspect of Microsoft's mobile vision will eventually be useful, and if so, how? Or do you think Terminal Services Client on Pocket PC's are the preferred solution?
