Mobile Worker Issues

• Mobile computing is a requirement• Usage is limited by clamshell designs

– Displays are viewed as barriers– Typing in meetings is distracting– Not optimized for classrooms– Not designed for walking and computing

• Too many devices – notebook PC, handheld, spiral notebook, planner, and sticky notes

• Online everywhere, always

Previous Barriers for Pen Computing

• Devices were too large– Components were big, took too much power, and were

‘thermally challenged’– Little emphasis on human-focused design

• Software was poor– Windows was not designed for keyboard-less systems– Virtual keyboards and digitizer interfaces were not

optimal– Required specialized application development

• Minimal connectivity options– Wireless wide-area network was not reality

Why Now?

• Mobile worker requirements have not changed• Hardware technology is mobile-optimized

– Wide availability of commoditized thin components (12.5mm)

– Improved battery densities and chemistries– Experienced in thin notebook designs

• Wireless technology is real– 802.11 is available– Inexpensive

• Windows XP Tablet PC Edition– Compatible with current applications– Pen enabled

Healthcare Case Study

Need to gather patient symptoms

Patient answers online diagnostic form

Need quick access to patient records

Medical records are available through EMR System

Doctors need access to up-to-date data quickly

Doctor gets wireless access to server-based reference material

Unpleasant patient therapy

Engaging video and patient training

Problem Solution

Field Sales Case Study

Customers with little time and short attention spans

Ability to annotate on presentations while going through multimedia slide show

Need to gather customer info in a digital format

Use online forms to capture order at point of sale

Must have customer signatures

Signature utility allows for capture and protection of customer signatures

Want to use all applications on one system

Media rich presentations, signature capture, forms and standard productivity applications run on one device

Problem Solution

Higher Education Case Study

Need a way to easily capture and index notes

Software that supports note taking, ink searching, and drawing

Too much to carry and too many devices

All-in-one device supports E-Books, note taking, and productivity applications

Difficult to manipulate info once captured (math formulas, data)

Standard data manipulation tools (Cut, Paste, Search) as well as new utilities (Snippet)

Difficult to collaborate in workgroups

Built-in wireless networking and collaboration tools improve workgroup experience

Problem Solution

Tablet PC Impact

• Changing the way people work with their computers– You don’t think of it as a PC

• You truly want to take it everywhere• Becomes your window to the world

– It opens the door for broader use – back to the way you were taught to do things – write, draw, talk

– True integration into your everyday life
