Chris over at TabletPCTalk.com has posted some interesting pictures on how your PC can control a UMPC from Tablet Kiosk. These pictures are from the WinHEC2007 event taking place in Los Angeles this week. If you venture on over to the site, you can also see the unit being used as a USB hard drive with an XBox 360. As a physician using a UMPC as a portable device, this combination could be a real plus when returning to the office to move files from the office PC to the portable unit easily or vice versa. You can see the screens from the UMPC clearly on the desktop monitor below. With any type of medical files security is a big concern so by using the UMPC for storage and portability, records are protected with all the normal security with Windows Vista or XP as well as hardware security, such as a fingerprint sign on provided on the UMPC. If you need to have portability with any medical documents, this appears to be a much more secure route rather than relying on a small flash drive. BD

The first demonstration shows a USB Duet-enabled TabletKiosk™ eo TufTab™ v7112XT UMPC computer connected directly to an Xbox 360 console through a standard USB cable. Because USB Duet allows UMPC machines to appear as simple USB storage devices, such as flash drives (which require no driver installation), the Xbox 360 system automatically detects the v7112XT as a new storage device and easily accesses its shared folder. The high-speed connection - up to 480Mbps -- enables full high-definition-quality video to be played back on the Xbox 360 console, and then displayed on an HDTV.
