mdlbearSo, as of this morning, I can finally talk about what I've been working on for the last year. Basically, it's a "business-oriented" tablet that's designed to be a replacement for a form on a clipboard. It costs a business about $2/page to process a form. We can do it for a tenth that cost.

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 1, 2011 ─ Ricoh Company, Ltd., a global leader in digital office innovations, today introduced its new eWriter Solution: a business-class tablet with back-end services designed to improve business efficiencies by moving paper processes online. The company also announced that the device and services will be offered through its new business unit, Ricoh eWriter Solutions (EWS).

I've mostly been working on the code that synchronizes documents between the tablet and the server, although the last few months I've been writing the framework for the factory diagnostics, and along the way I've also written much of the code that converts back and forth between PDF and our internal format.
We're having a party at the Starport on Saturday; I'll have one to demo.

"Symblogogy"? I thought it was a typo, but now I get it.
Hmmm, need a proofreader?
[These aren't:]
- Head's Up! - Ricoh's eWriter Solutions combination for a paperless transaction
- to bring a head's up mentality or focus to the KM/IT processes
- as revolutionary as a pilot's head's up display [And this one gets a special demerit for egg on the pilot's face]

Not very many at first, given that it's $500+$30/month for a very locked-down system. Small business, definitely.
