Its second-ever Tablet PC, Hewlett-Packard's new tc4200 relinquishes the sleek looks of the tc1000 series, but adds more features to make up for it.
Hewlett-Packard has announced the HP Compaq Tablet PC tc4200, a swivel-screen model which includes a keyboard and a 12.1" XGA display. Following in the footsteps of the Compaq-developed tc1000 series, the tc4200 adds considerably more bulk, but mitigates the added size and weight through the introduction of a more powerful feature set.
