Motion Computing Releases M1400TC: Embedded XP Thin Client Tablet
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 02:00 AM
"Motion Computing has decided to offer a thin client version of their M1400 Tablet PC called the M1400TC; they’ve essentially just stripped out the hard drive and replaced the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition OS it would usually run with Windows XP Embedded on a 512MB embedded flash drive. . . . [It's] got a Celeron M 900MHz or Pentium M 1.1GHz processor, a 12.1-inch LCD screen, built-in 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth, 256 or 512MB of RAM, a fingerprint reader, and it’s about 0.9-inches thick and weighs roughly 3 pounds "
The M1400TC is obviously aimed at the corporate market, but can you guys ever seeing yourselves wanting one of these types of thin client units for use around the house etc? Personally I find that my laptop and PPC complement each other extremely well and that while travelling I will be using either of them depending on circumstances. It's certainly nice to have a smorgasbord of form-factors to choose from. The problem being, exactly which device or combination of devices best suits your needs (and wallet)? Decisions, decisions…. ;-)
