Windows XP Tablet PC Edition

This edition is intended for specially-designed notebook/laptop computers called tablet PCs. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is compatible with a pen-sensitive screen, supporting handwritten notes and portrait-oriented screens. Initially, a retail version could not be purchased separately from a tablet PC, but in August 2004 it became universally available at no cost as part of Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. Unlike Windows XP Media Center Edition which is not available in a retail or volume license form, a volume license version was also made available.

Tablet PC Edition is a superset of Windows XP Professional, the difference being tablet functionality, including alternate text input (Tablet PC Input Panel) and basic drivers for support of tablet PC specific hardware. Requirements to install Tablet PC Edition include a tablet digitizer or touchscreen device, and hardware control buttons including a Ctrl-Alt-Delete shortcut button, scrolling buttons, and at least one user-configurable application button.

There have been two releases:

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition – The original version released in November 2002.

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 – The Tablet PC version released in August 2004 (codenamed Lonestar) as part of Windows XP Service Pack 2. The 2005 edition is available as a service pack upgrade, or as a new OEM version.

Service Pack 2 for Windows XP includes Tablet PC Edition 2005 and is a free upgrade. This version brought improved handwriting recognition and improved the Input Panel, allowing it to be used in almost every application. The Input Panel was also revised to extend speech recognition services (input and correction) to other applications.

Included software

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is based on Windows XP Professional and includes all the software features provided in it. In addition, it includes some of the following components:

Tablet PC Input Panel
Windows Journal
Sticky Notes
InkBall
Energy Blue theme

The following downloadable packs released by Microsoft add more functionality:

Microsoft Experience Pack
Ink Art
Ink Crossword
Ink Desktop
Media Transfer
Snipping Tool 2.0
Education Pack
Ink Flash Cards
Equation Writer
GoBinder Lite
Hexic Deluxe

Technology

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition utilizes the Ink object as a means of data input and storage. This is a data type created as part of the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition API that allows users to manipulate and process handwritten data, including recognition results and, in some cases, the pressure information for each part of the stroke. Properties of Ink can be changed in much the same way as properties of other objects, and the data can be saved to allow future reference. Many applications referencing the Ink object also allow handwritten notes to be filtered and searched through, based on the recognition results stored when Ink is saved.

Integrated with the operating system is a Tablet PC Input Panel (TIP) which allows handwriting to be converted into text for use in most non-full-screen applications. The integrated handwriting recognition in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 can recognize print, cursive, or mixed writing. Accuracy can be increased by configuring the recognizer to expect left-handed writing or right-handed writing. Recognition in a variety of languages is available with the install of a recognizer pack. The handwriting engine cannot be trained to recognize a particular handwriting style, so the user must modify their handwriting to be better recognized by the system in order to use this feature effectively.

Speech recognition functionality is also incorporated into the Tablet Input Panel. Compared to previous versions, a substantially improved speech recognition engine version 6 (which also ships with Office 2003) and a tutorial, microphone wizard and training modules are included. It is possible to dictate text using speech in certain supported applications and control the Windows GUI and applications using speech, although the accuracy improvements further made in Windows Vista surpass these features. An update for Windows XP Tablet PC Edition containing Ink Analysis and StylusInput API support introduced in Windows Vista is also available.

Seeing that FingerPrintReader on your H1 makes me want to have one on my CF-19mk5 so bad!!!
Unfortunatly I can't find the "additional configuration kit" Password anywhere. I've been looking everywhere, but it's still not out in the open. And it's not like you can order a mk5 with FPR (unless you order at least 25). Darn.

But it's one nice card plotter, that H1!!
But eeehm, no nice dock? I expected you to have that hyper-expensive dock (??$449??)

 

DUDE... You do realize you can get a FP reader module from Heartland for $149 right??. The part number is: CF-WFP192 - $148.49

That module will work in ANY CF-19...

 

yeah, I can build it in but I can't get it to work as it is locked down in a sub menu in the mk5's bios. It's not the supervisor/user-bios-password, it's not about 50-60 other passwords I tried, but without it, you can't intstall a camera, FPR or other optional kit. I heard from a panasonic guy that the password was meant to be put in the manual but that it was pulled from the manual at the last moment. So now I'm searching for this password, but I haven't found it anywhere yet.
And I would love to install the FPR, camera and perhaps the dedicated GPS.

So if you are thinking about modding, don't start with a mk5 (besides the price...)

 

@Alecgold....It sounds like you need to speak to someone who works in a Secret Location....a PM will be in the Pipeline later.

o.g.

 

let me see if I understood this correctly:
If you buy a FP reader module from Heartland (Panny auth. service/parts company) for a CF-19 mk5, and you install it in the mk5, it won't be detected/activated by the BIOS, so you cannot use it ?
If you send your mk5 to Heartland, and pay them to install it, I presume they know that Password and activate the BIOS option.

And I was so naive a couple of months ago, wanting to retrofit my C1 with FP reader and Camera (needing a new lcd frame, besides the parts)...

 

To hack Rob's post even a bit more...

@Orange_George, waiting unpatiently for that PM

@gear6 I'm not in the States, I'm in Europe/Netherlands, but I bought this CF-19mk5 at a dealer that is also a certified repair center. I asked them if they would update it for me, but they told me they can't update the mk5 because they don't have that password either. And Panasonic doesn't want to update toughbooks, you buy them as they are. Or so the dealer told me. Strangest is that you can't buy CF-19's with camera or FPR unless you buy 25+ units.
I don't know if the C1 has that password as well, I know older units don't have this password yet.

 

I'll sell you a single CF-19 with a camera... Not sayin, jus sayin...

 

Would that be a CF19mk5 with touch, digitizer, WWAN, 8Gb, emissive backlit keyboard and in pristine condition?
Trade against my CF-19ADNAHF4??
I just bought a €4400 CF-19mk5, my wife would kill me if I would spend that much money just to get a camera and/or FPR

 

I justed talked to our tech and you have to SOLDER the camera in... lol

 

Wow, solder it in? Hmm, Im not gonna do that with a 3 month old mk5. But I keep hoping on a FPR, even though I can't seem to find anybody who added something to a mk5 besides the keyboard.

 

Wow solder in, huh? Kinda glad I pulled the trigger on the Cf-19 with the camera. 0 hours too. the only downside is it's limited to 4gb ram. But never had a problem with just 4 and now even less with the I5 processor. Rob how much do the cameras run? and Alec where is this password input in the Bios. I will check if it's on mine MK4 even though it has a custom Bios. Sadly my niece is eyeing it and wants me to trade her for her older CF-19. Something about it being her 15th birthday/Quinceañera and she won't ever bother me ever again. That's right two evers, must make it true right?

 

I can't even get a price on it.

Sorry.

 

Eno, thanks, it's in the BIOS, tab "MAIN", last line where it says "Optional Kit Configuration".

I couldn't find those camera's either as a spare part.

 

just another question Rob in case I ever need to open this baby up where is it soldered to? I am thinking maybe the ram slot? I don't want to pull up any wires removing the back. Not that I am planning to open it up but it helps to be prepared.

 

Alec that was the main reason I bought it. Well besides the "fever". I kept looking for the separate kit and basically could not find it.

 

There is a bios update for the Mk4. It may be newer than your current bios and/or it may overwrite the custom bios.

CF-19 Mk4 bios update

 

Wow, thanks db I may try that this weekend. Even though no problems so far.

 

Just checked no such option in the menu. The only thing there is Concealed Mode. I wonder if the MK4 will accept the fingerprint reader and show it in Bios without the secret password?

 

You where looking in the right place, it is the next line beneath concealed mode indeed.
Bu since you have no bios protection, installing a fpr might work.

 

No clue, but that's my guess.
