Hands-on with Motion Computing's C5 medical Tablet PC

It was only a pre-production model, but we managed to get hands-on with the C5, that medical-centric Tablet PC that Motion Computing announced about a month ago. Obviously meant for healthcare professionals rather than regular consumers, but the C5 is definitely one fine-looking machine. Click on the gallery for a handful of hands-on shots.

That screen looks like it has a terrible viewing angle. I would expect on something like a tablet you would want something with very good viewing angle..

Nope. Not in a setting where privacy is such a big deal. Terrible viewing angles are where it's at. They actually sell viewing angle reducing screens to go over normal displays in offices where social security numbers and the like are commonly on-screen not too far from line-of-sight for non-employees. I'm not surprised if this machine has a seriously bad viewing angle.

As a nursing student the main reason computers at work appeal to me is so I can type my absurd amounts of documentation rather than doing it all by hand. If you're gonna design something like this, please oh please give me a freakin' keyboard.
