Einstein Technologies has released the latest version (V3 Beta 2) of their product Tablet Enhancements for Outlook, the product does what it says - improves the functionalities and the UI of Outlook to make it more easy to use on the Tablet OS ( and ofcourse on the UMPCs). Now that is something we might really need for the UMPCs. Especially when we have no keyboard to work with.
Tablet Enhancements for Outlook is an add-in for Microsoft Outlook XP and 2003 that turns the popular Personal Information Manager into a full-fledged Tablet PC-aware application. TEO replaces Outlook’s standard UI with fully ink-enabled forms and lets you write and keep your notes in your own handwriting. No synchronization required.

John Takosh should have called it the UMPC Button Profile Manager, anyways it does the job, remember the trouble with remapping those buttons that he had shared a few days back. Yes after some solid time with it he has come out with a Software that does the job for ya, Best of all it’s FREE.
Tablet Button Profile Manager (tbpm) is a utility designed for users of Microsoft Windows XP, Tablet Edition. It is especially useful for owners of Origami (UMPC) devices.
Tablet PCs often have a few buttons that can be mapped with the Tablet Settings/Tablet Buttons control panel. For users who like to change these mappings frequently, the control panel is cumbersome. TBPM helps keep track of the groups of Tablet Button settings you like to switch between and automates those settings.
Great Job & Thanks for sharting Takosh. Grab a Copy for yourself

Just a few days after the release of the bootcamp from apple, Lora {looks like its loren} (whatisnew.com) has installed the Tablet OS on the iMac and has a neat posting from there.
Actually, the installation process is very similar to that described in the Boot Camp documentation. There are two exceptions, however. For instance, I used a Tablet PC OS Windows XP disc and not the standard Windows XP CD. Apple indicates that Boot Camp does not support this permutation of the OS–if I understand correctly, it’s because the Tablet OS comes on two discs and at install time there is no way to eject a CD and swap to disc two. This problem can be avoided, however, by creating a DVD image that contains all the necessary files (all the files from the Tablet OS disc one and two). I used Nero to burn a bootable DVD from the Tablet PC OS files included in my MSDN subscription. Then when Boot Camp reaches the step where I need to insert a Windows XP install disc in the “CD” drive, I use the DVD instead.
Oh boy, when will apple let us install the intel based Mac OS X on our UMPCs? Well apple does not yet have a tablet version (who knows what’s happening behind the screens) but it would surely be fun to play on an UMPC with Mac OS. Any takers…?

Sumocat has an interesting post on creating links with ink. Sure, this will come in very handy when UMPC becomes popular and people want to use the pen to blog. (atleast until wee se those sleek foldable UMPCs with built-in keyboards).
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve developed a new method for creating links in ink. The previous attempt used the obvious solution of image mapping. However, this method isn’t very useful since it lacks a good way to highlight a link, as with underlining text. Thus, I’ve come up with something new.
Instead of a map, I’ve decided to go with layers. After tooling with the code, I boiled down a template that links to an external script and style sheet. All I have to do is fill in the link info.
I upload the resultant web page and ink images to my web site. Then in Blogger, I paste in the code for the inline frame followed by the text. Takes a few more steps than my usual process, but it’s nice to have the option available.
