Current list of the Podcasts I am listening to on a regular basis.

This is mostly due to the fact that Audible still sux and doesn't have a Windows Phone App.

    • .Net Rocks
      If you're a .Net developer and you don't listen to this show, you are missing out on a tremendous resource
    • Herding Code
      Excellent dialog of current development activities with a unique spin.
    • Hanselminutes
      Scott Hanselman interviews interesting people and enlightens developers
    • Deep Fried Bytes
      A southern spin on development :-) Keith and Woody are great.
    • Stuff you missed in History Class
      Quite the guilty pleasure. I'm a history junkie and these ladies do a bang up job of finding interesting stuff.
    • Escape Pod
      Scifi short stories... Very interesting.

ExoPC looking really nice

DateThursday, June 10, 2010 at 8:50AM

I continue to search for a viable Win7 Slate. I am really annoyed that I won't have one for a few more months.


Lately I have been carrying around my ANCIENT Toshiba M7 tablet to meetings all day; the weight and battery life are really starting to irritate me.


What I WILL NOT give up...



  • OneNote

  • Pen


Since these are my two very basic requirements, I have a narrower focus than most people when it comes to a Slate.


What I want:



  • ~2 pounds in weight

  • All Day Battery

  • HDMI Out

  • SDHC Slot


Since the previous two I was looking at have been officially cancelled (HP Slate and MS Courier) I think I have settled on the ExoPC.  It appears from the specs that this is my machine.


Sure, I'd love to have a ton of consumer crapware on this (not) from an AppStore, but really I only want to use it for OneNote and watching occassional movies.


I need a pen because I just can't type in a meeting, it's never been practical for me. While it's not speced here, It is supposed to ship with a stylus and since it's windows I can install some palm-rejection software if its not already there.



This thing looks pretty awesome, see the link for Specs. I hope it ships on time in September.
