CES 2008: Tablet/UMPC Meet-up!
byThanks to GottaBeMobile, JKOnTheRun, TabletLawyer, MobileDemand, and Microsoft for sponsoring the 2008 CES Tablet/UMPC meet-up! It was a real blast to see everyone and to talk to some people I hadn’t yet had a chance to chat with. Also, thanks to them many OEM’s who helped out including Lenovo, HP, Motion Computing, TabletKiosk, Fujitsu, ProClip, Otterbox, TechSmith, and IT Cases.
I’m amazed at the shear amount of goodies that were found to give away, and not just free pens and shirts, but Tablet PCs (any fully-loaded Motion, an HP TX2000, and a Lenovo X61T) and a UMPC (the Fujitsu U810). It seemed everyone was in the giving mood!
Here are just some of the goodies…
The GottaBeMobile group had OQO’s they were blogging with at CES so I got to play with one briefly. It was a cute device and a good size, but I must say I’m in the “I wish it were a touch screen group.”
GETAC unveiled a new rugged Tablet PC that they kept dropping (loudly) on the floor. The part of the room I was in kept cringing until we decided they must be dropping it on purpose :-D.
If you count, there’s around 6-7 devices in this picture alone…

Wow! That place really is buzzing with excitement and passion (I just watched the video). Even if you weren’t one of the lucky attendees to have walked away with a Tablet PC as a prize, you’re going to have left there with a purely positive vibe and an indelible love for all things inkable.
