Vendors offer a sneak peek at Tablet PC tools
PC World | at | by Mike
Two software vendors this week took the wraps off applications designed for new Tablet PC devices, which will be released later this year with the goal of making handwriting the preferred method for inputting data into computer documents. Corel Tuesday previewed an application called Grafigo that it plans to release on November 7. A second company, Pen&Internet, also announced the immediate availability of an application for sending handwritten e-mail from a variety of devices, which will take advantage of the pen-based computing features of the Tablet PC. Now in beta testing, Grafigo is designed to allow users to open graphics files--for example, a building floor plan--and add handwritten notes, diagrams, and various shapes to those documents.
