I’ve posted before in The Truth About Tablet PC and More Truth About Tablet PC concerning the virtues of the Tablet PC as an output medium, i.e. for casual reading. My comments were based on lots of use, and I couldn’t resist posting this photo showing me a few moments after I discovered the Ross Mayfield article that I point to in the posting immediately below this one (i.e. the immediately preceding entry). I was browsing my NewsGator feeds in my living room armchair: in fact I had the WiFi switched off to preserve battery power, though I’ve now got it on (and have moved over to the couch) to post this story.

Why am I telling you this? Because there’s simply too much for any of us to keep up with, and a quick perusal of newsfeeds, whether offline or online, in a comfortable viewing position, makes quite a lot of difference to me. I don’t browse that many feeds anyway – a few dozen perhaps, feeling that the key is to pick a handful of ‘islands of expertise’ that are not too close to one another, but just enough to give me a sweeping coverage of the things I need to be aware of (picking those islands is a tough judgement call, of course).

Click here (or on the photo above) to see a 50%-reduced screen grab of my Microsfot Outlook NewsGator view. A very comfortable read at full size.
