Good news, everyone! Tablet computers are all the rage these days, and now there's a version for the Hubert J. Farnsworth crowd. Now you—yes, you!—can bring leading-edge sex appeal to your embedded systems. Imagine the admiration, respect, and esteem from your puny and unimaginative so-called colleagues as you unveil this beauty. Oh, the humanity! (Batteries not included.)

We're talking, of course, about the new Panel PCs from WinSystems. These are industrial-grade PCs packaged with an LCD screen in a flat, tablet-like format. The result is a tablet computer that can take a licking and keep on ticking.
