I'm attending a big IT conference in Austin TX at the moment (the SpiceWorld conference for inquiring minds that have to know). It's a really fun conference with a ton of vendors and an unimaginable amount of free swag.
CDW had their Technoliner there (which was cool!! http://www.winningontheroad.com/lite/technoliner.html), and in the course of things I ended up inside of it and walked into the middle of an Intel guy giving a demo of some cool tech. Check out what he was presenting the demo on...
So naturally we got to talking all things SP3. He LOVES the SP3, and he said he's really sorry that when his tour ends with the bus, that he has to give it back.
Also I saw a couple other guys on SP3's while I was there, and got to talking with one who was sitting next to me during one of the sessions. He's one of the network admins for a large company in Austin, and his IT dept bought 4 SP3's for the IT guys to try out. He said 3 of the 4 IT guys have kept the SP3's as their permanent laptops and have returned their other company-issued laptops. They are now learning as much as they can about them because soon they are going to roll them out to their company's sales department, about 30. Then he said after that rollout is done, 300 more employees get them.
He was so excited to be using his SP3! He said he specifically didn't carry a mouse around, and after a while he was pleasantly surprised at how much he enjoyed the touch interaction of the SP3. He pretty much gushed about how cool he thought the pen is, his favorite feature is the click for OneNote.
It was just such a great, positive conversation, and very exciting for me to meet other users of the SP3 in the wild.
Also, the Intel guy was using this device to wirelessly stream to the big display- http://amzn.com/B00J4DHIJU
Looks like Actiontec actually makes several models of that adapter.
