Neek Talk Interview: Len McGough (Fujitsu Representative)
As we have mentioned before, the Sling booth, and the booths around Sling were the first booths we visited during CES 2007. Working with Sling was Fujitsu, with their P1610. Len McGough, from Fujitsu, talked with us about the machine. It's a touch screen Tablet PC, and all two pounds are very impressive. The target market is not the consumers, but rather the business people, although some consumers may prefer to use the professional machine.
Through the interview, he gives us very good reasons for purchasing the Tablet PC, and also provides his ideas on what needs to be changed. Len McGough also very honestly told us that he would only use the machine for mobility, but dock it at a desk and use the system as a desktop.
He could not give us a demonstration of the inking experience because of the way the machines were set up on the floor, but Rob Bushway, in his P1610 article, says "I've never used a touch device that supplied such a good inking experience."
