I have to hold off on the details of this but as early as tomorrow I can share what got installed on my Samsung Q1P UMPC. It’s not the Origami Experience 2.0; that much I can say. One of the folks at the Tablet PC / UMPC meetup gave me a demo and as soon as I get the word, I’ll share the info.
Speaking of the meetup, I want to share a few thoughts on the awesome experience:
- Sitting with the entire GottaBeMobile team after the main crowd dispersed was a pleasure. We all "work together", but in a virtual office so to speak. We never get to kick back together and we had a fun conversation on our backgrounds and what we do in "day jobs". I think I was the only one who really doesn’t have one. ;)
- James said a few words about our good friend, Marc Orchant. A toast of warm thoughts was had by all.
- The exhibitors, vendors and others in the industry REALLY came through with goodies. Tablets and UMPCs from HP, Fujitsu and Motion were offered up. Cases, software and accessories also. We’ll get or point a complete list with links of the generous folks that donated. Oh and James won a new Fujitsu U810; you’ll be happy to know that he gave the prize back so that someone else could win it. I won a license of Camtasia Studio and SnagIt from TechSmith… I would have given it back, but my son Tyler wants to do screen-cap movies now that he thinks he’s famous on YouTube.
- We had around 102 enthusiasts show up… this fun and personal event gets bigger every year.
- It was a pleasure to have readers come up and introduce themselves to us. If the readers benefit from our effort, then we consider this to be a success. Plus, we learn more from you than you from us.
- One the highlights of the event for me personally: getting to meet Otto Berkes from Microsoft. We had a great conversation for about 15 minutes and it was a pleasure to discuss UMPCs, hardware, software and more.
