The Tablet: Big Machine on Campus? - Diana Middleton, Business Week
Microsoft and Thomson Learning hope that a giveaway of the nifty notebooks will spark demand among students -- and teachers. This September, some University of Virginia students will be lugging more than course outlines, gargantuan textbooks, and standard laptops. Tucked away in their backpacks, 425 students of biochemistry, psychology, or statistics will have a new, free Tablet PC, courtesy of Microsoft and Thomson Learning. The school believes the compact, portable PC, which is about the size of a typical spiral notebook, will add a new dimension to the classroom. The Tablet will let professors enliven lectures with digital extras and enable students to scrawl notes and draw diagrams while watching 3-D molecules split -- all with the touch of a stylus.
