Media reports are beginning to appear that part of Bill Gates’ Comdex keynote on Sunday will be devoted to the Tablet PC:
From ZDNet:
“Gates is expected to discuss Microsoft’s Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system, which would mark the tablet’s third appearance in his keynote. He is likely to show off a number of improvements the company has made to the device, sources said.”
And from Mary Jo Foley at Microsoft Watch:
This year, Gates is expected to take the wraps off “Lonestar,” likely to be named Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2004. As company execs noted recently, Lonestar is on tap to debut by mid-2004. (An early version of the Lonestar software development kit was announced at the Professional Developers conference late last month.)
