I am on an IBM tablet, running XP and have found that nbc.com will not load on either IE or firefox. nbci.com will load just fine on both as Keith said; however any attempt to navigate away from the homepage brings us back to the initial problem because all of their links revert back to nbc. I've found that if you take the time to type out the url for the link and add the i after nbc, it will work.

I did a TCP trace and found several redirections that ultimately result in "Page Not Found." From what I can tell, it looks like their main site is not handling the User-Agent header generated by XP Tablet Ed. and Vista. I'm not sure what part of the header is the issue, but nbc.com thinks it's a mobile device, and redirects to the mobile version of the site. However, the mobile site *does* handle the User-Agent properly and bounces back. This goes on for a little while until IE gives up. They’ve yet to fix this….

I do not have a tablet PC, but there is a Wacom Intuos tablet being used with the machine. It appears that it is not only the tablets that are being affected, but something in the tablet technology that is creating this issue. Interesting… PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE - if you know of any solution, post it here! Thanks! I am running into the exact same issue.
