Okay, if all goes according to plan, I'm going to purchase a M1300 tablet pc and have it in hand the day before I leave for a conference. [8D] Since I only have a day to play...um...I mean configure the tablet, I need to know what apps you guys would consider to be essential.

I know I'm going to install the following:
Office 2003 Beta MS Reader Adobe Acrobat
What else?

Your tablet will already come with Miscrosoft Journal on it...I would order the OneNote Beta from Microsoft today so it arrives at the same time you get your tablet...that is, in all honesty, the only application besides word and internet explorer that I use every single day on my tablet.

OneNote should be included with the Office 2003 beta, but yes I agree that should be an app you install. Also check out the Snipping powertoy and the other powertoys on Microsoft's web-site, some of those are great little apps to have loaded on your Tablet PC.

IS OneNote part of the Office 2003 beta?? Microsoft, all along, has been saying that it will NOT be part of MS Office 2003 and that you will need to purchase it separately...

It's been included in the Office Beta Kit but you're right, I think it's going to be a stand-alone product.

Download the power toys (especially the cross word), and the Mind Manager demo.

You might want to consider alias sketchbook pro if you have an arty flair.

I agree about MindManager and Alias Sketchbook. I liked Alias so much that I purchased the program. I just downloaded the MindManager trial a couple of weeks ago, and I find it so useful in my law practice for strategizing cases, I plan to purchase the program. The powertoys offered by Microsoft, particularly the second round contain some good apps as well. I have several subscriptions through Zinio as well, but I find it infinitely easier to view them on a larger display (but it kills time waiting for hearings in court).

I like Mind Manager...I don't know if it is a "must have" since you can do the same thing with pen and paper, and oneNote does a nice job of pulling it all together...but I do like MindManager's itnerface, the nice ink enabled programming, and the ability to print up stuff to pass out to team members...
