Julius Sinkevicius, worldwide Tablet PC product manager at Microsoft Corp, who spoke to over 200 developers at the anniversary event, said: "Tablet PC users can expect creativity to accelerate, especially with the launch of Tablet PC software development kit (SDK) version 1.7, due out in second quarter of this year. The SDK will make it easier for developers to create rich, ink-enabled applications by providing new and improved tools such as support for Web- or HTML-based pages and real-time stylus and ink support."

Today, more than 150 ISVs have already developed and contributed applications to run on the Microsoft Tablet PC Edition platform. In the UK survey conducted in January, over a third of the ISVs believe that the tablet PC killer functionality is its mobility, WiFi capability and portability.
