ThinkPad TransNote
The ThinkPad TransNote is a notebook computer by IBM that was launched in February 2001.
The TransNote was an internal collaboration between IBM's Research and Personal Computing Division (PCD). Randy Moulic, manager of client systems at IBM, merged the pen technologies group and mobile PC platform group to work on the prototype. John Karidis was responsible for the mechanical design of the TransNote. Kardis and Ronald Smith developed the system that allows the TransNote to fold on top of itself to reduce the footprint of the device.
The TransNote was created to combine the CrossPad which IBM developed in collaboration with A.T. Cross and a laptop computer, specifically the ThinkPad. IBM was targetting two groups with the development of the TransNote: note-takers and graphic-intensive users.
The TrasNote received several patents for its design and features.
The TransNote consists of a leather-like folio case which contains a computer on one side and a paper notebook on the other side.
The CrossPad technology would become known as ThinkScribe on the TransNote. The ThinkScribe pad had 2MB of internal memory to record notes that could be stored and then transferred to the computer component. The notes could be converted into JPEG, TIFF and PDF formats.
The hardware relies on the use of the software package InkManagerPro which was developed for the TransNote.
The TransNote comes equipped with:
Hub AI
ThinkPad TransNote AI simulator
