Pace Blade has the unique distinction of being one of the first companies who has designed a new tablet PC to re-ignite the tablet PC market. PaceBlade's unique blend of technology and aesthetics might be enough to overcome an operating system that is not quite up to snuff.
When considering tablet PC computing, we wonder if we wouldn't be better off with an oversized Palm Pilot, instead of a 'smoke and mirrors' Windows operating system that was never designed with tablet computing in mind. While we are sure that Windows XP will improve its support for tablet computing over time, this is not the current state of affairs. While PaceBlade may struggle to find a niche market for its products, much of the blame will squarely and rightfully fall at Microsoft's doorstep.
The question to be answered is, would we buy a PaceBook? While the PaceBook does present many of the things we have been longing for in computing technology over the past few years, the PaceBook still has a variety of shortcomings that do not make it a good fit for our uses. The PaceBook does offer many niche applications, a unique product that has not been available previously. Depending upon your application needs, the PaceBook may be a good fit for your uses. We would encourage you to make sure that the PaceBook meets all of your potential requirements before committing to purchase one.
