Tablet PC may not be Dead

Acer files Tablet PC patent.

Long have I wished Compaq/HP extended the Tablet PC line from the ever popular TC1100, what I currently have. It is the perfect form factor for those of us that like the Slate PC with the option of having a keyboard.

From Gotta Be Mobile, Electronic Pulp has gotten their hands on a recent Acer patent showing a “portable electronic device” that resembles a netbook/MID. Little information is known although there is a slide up QWERTY keyboard underneath the screen, it has 3 USB ports, 1 FireWire, Optical Disk Drive, ExpressCard slot, d-pad, Touchpad with left and right buttons, and possible infrared.

My TC1100 has both bluetooth and infrared and Acer’s Tablet PC has at least infrared. No other information has been put forth. So if you know something or have ideas, let us know.
