Motion Computing Launches Tablet PC

Filed under category: Laptops

This one is so small we could probably call it a PDA! Motion Computing has just unvelied the LS800, the most compact tablet PC available running Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005. The new slate tablet PC, approximately the size of a paperback book, is small enough to slip into a lab coat pocket or attach to a tool belt and is optimal for highly mobile professionals in industries including route sales and service, manufacturing and healthcare.

The LS800 has an 8.4-inch display, is less than 1-inch thick and weighs 2.2 lbs. The LS800 is among the first tablet PCs with the latest generation of Intel Centrino mobile technology, including the Intel Pentium M Processor Ultra Low Voltage 753 (1.2 GHz) and the Mobile Intel 915GMS Express Chipset. "Tablet PC adoption is continuing to demonstrate steady growth, particularly among vertical market buyers, many of whom require smaller form factor slates for targeted applications," said Leslie Fiering, vice president covering mobile computing at Gartner, Inc. "We anticipate that tablet PC shipments will double by 2008." Shall we bid our farewells to the traditional laptop now, or wait till 08?
