Marc Orchant and James Kendrick are back with show #25! Congratulations to Josh and Heather Einstein on the birth of their child, Jacob, already becoming a Tablet PC addict. Happy Birthday to the first lady of the Tablet PC, Lora Heiny, who turned 21 this week. Marc discusses his reacquantance with the Toshiba M200 since he’s been using it lately and compares it to the Gateway he lost when he changed jobs. We talk about battery life of UMPCs and whether it’s better to have an extended battery or a second standard battery. Marc’s son Jason appears in a Microsoft Student ad and is known as Mini-Marc, poor kid. 
In our discussion on Vista on the Tablet PC we question why we are getting no advanced notices about any Vista-ready slates on the horizon from OEMs like Motion. Tracy Hooten goes slate. James rants on the lack of UMPC advertising- history repeats itself. Marc and James offer two good ways to easily enable Flicks on touch screen Tablet PCs like UMPCs.
Enjoy the show!
