Was privileged enough to meet up with Bill Mitchell this week. For those who do not know who Bill is - He's the guy who can be known as the father of Pocket PC and ActiveSync. It was under him that the Pocket PC project was initiated in 1993. He currently is the Corporate Vice President for the Windows Mobile Platforms Division at Microsoft.

Bill has an awesome vision for the Tablet PC - he is the only guy so far who could convince that even I who cant read my own handwriting and who has almost forgotten to write very much needs a Tablet PC. He got me thinking no matter how geeky we become - how much we type more than write - we still do use a pen, not always to write though, I see developers in the cafeteria always scribbling on a paper napkin, drawing (uml?? :-) ) diagrams. Imagine if you could scribble on a tablet instead? Convert it into an image and email it for review? The Tablet platform defn. has a lot of potential in the future.
