Via Mary Jo Foley from Microsoft Watch comes this Motion Computing news she points to at windowsfordevices.com:

Motion Computing has converted its M1400 Tablet PC into a thin client device, substituting Windows XP Embedded for Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. Dubbed the “M1400TC,” the device is useful for equipping mobile workers with tablet-style computing resources, while keeping sensitive information on secure network servers, the company says.

This solidifies my thoughts that this is the path of the Tablet PC: specialized business uses. Contrary to some folks out there, I don’t think the Tablet PC is right for everybody, but I think it’s perfect for some people, notably business use (salesmen, artists, medical field, insurance, etc). That’s where Tablet PC continues to gain practical usage ground.

Did this post make you go hmm?
