[Videoconferencing] Tablet PC for loan/evaluation

[Andrew Daviel]

I have a Lenovo X61 Tablet PC available for loan/evaluation for 
meetings/presentations.

This is a tablet with a "magic pen", i.e. you can write on it in longhand 
with appropriate software, and connect it to a projector of course.

I have installed Microsoft Office XP (some pen support), and PDF 
Annotator. This last allows you to mark up a PDF in longhand and re-save 
it as a PDF. http://www.ograhl.com/en/pdfannotator/

There is also a Logitech HD camera (works with EVO), Polycom PVX 
(software H323 client), Skype, Bluetooth mouse and Bluetooth headset.

The screen is physically quite small (12") but logically 1400x1050. It 
rotates to portrait mode as well as keyboardless tablet mode.

We also have a spare PVX licence, if anyone has a need for it. There's an 
evaluation copy on the Web which quits after 20 minutes or so, to check 
if it will work first. It's moderately resource hungry (probably won't 
run on old hardware, and the sound didn't work on a Thinkpad T40).
This is H323 software by a company that makes H323 appliances, so it is 
fully compatible with viewstations etc. (can even move far-end cameras).
Worth about $160.
