The Bottom Line

Anyone who already has a Tablet PC or has just received one, should have this book and keep it handy. For new users, it takes you right from getting your Tablet PC set up and making the most of the special tools that Tablet PCs have. For more experienced users, you may be surprised to learn some of the things your Tablet PC is capable of handling. This book is a great reference and I have found it very useful.

Guide Review - Tablet PC Quick Reference

User manuals and the included tutorials that come with Tablet PCs are handy but only go so far to reveal the power that a Tablet PC has and the different ways that mobile professionals can put their Tablet PC to use.

With this book at your side, you will find that you can far more than just use a stylus rather than a mouse for working with your Tablet PC. The clear, easy to follow chapters begin with the basics and progress to more advanced topics.

The author, Jeff Van West also takes the time to explain why you would want to do things, then goes on to explain further how you can do it and provides excellent examples for you to try.

The first three chapters (Part I) begin with basic Tablet PC information and introduce you to what the Tablet PC is and how to set it up to suit your needs. Part II - Power Tablet Use handles topics such as adding text and pictures to Windows Journal and using Windows Office with a Tablet PC.

The last section - Part III covers networking and traveling with your tablet issues. This section is very important to mobile professionals.

I really recommend this book as a great add-on with any Tablet PC purchase and whether you've been using a Tablet PC for many years and want to learn what else it can do, or you've just received your first Tablet PC - everyone will learn and work better as a result of using this book.
