tablet pc used in a doctor surgery

Nick Bradbury the developer of feeddemon (which is the amazing rss reader I use and love!) has posted on his recent visit to the doctor.

I just returned from an appointment with a doctor whose office had upgraded to Tablet PCs since my last visit, and it was pretty cool to see non-techies benefit from these gadgets. The office had several docking stations which held the tablets, and my doctor undocked one as he walked in to see me. Geek that I am, we talked more about his office tech than we did about my reason for visiting (a simple clogged ear, btw), and he obviously loved his tablet. During the visit he took notes on the tablet, and he even used the stylus to draw a picture of my inner ear to show me what the problem was. When he was done, he handed his tablet to a nurse, who jotted a few notes down before re-docking it. This was a real-world display of tech “in the wild,” helping someone do their job.

How cool is that!

Now if I could get the inbuilt feedemon browser to be able to use the send browser page to onenote tool that would be perfect.
