Yes. Via said 0.1 watt cpu would consume and with screen off, how long will it last? And maybe you should enable power management for some time, you can disable it later.
And as some folks mentioned above, how sensitive is the screen? Nails instead of fingers continue? (in your Sony U-series review, you didn’t dislike the touchscreen, but this UMPC is it sensitive as TC1100 or it skips on the half of the letter/word? (mine is very) And is it comfortable to write considering you will not be able to rest your hand on it?

BUT PLEASE no flash, just cranCk the ISO to 400 or 800 on the camera. Camera on a tripod helps.
Thanks.

That’s too bad. I hold the 770 the same way. You will develop what I (unaffectionately!) call “Nokia Thumb” that way.

looks like you’ve woken up the silent majority out there with your invitation for questions on the eo

I’m interested in it from a business usage point of view. so
- how noisy is it?
- how good is the digitiser in taking notes – how careful do you have to be to not rest your palm on the screen?
- how good is the handwriting recognition
- how quickly can it resume from hibernate/standby
- what do you know about extended battery options
- can you hot-swap the batteries
- how does the Office apps work esp Outlook

I’ll also add my vote for a video review if you’re able to do it!

Thanks Mate

Thanks!

Comments on the dial-keys would be nice. Is it possible to write an email with Dial-keys. Does it take up too much screen space?

Enjoy.
Steve.

How is the speed? Some benchmarks would be good.

Intel’s solution is terrible, so I’m really hoping VIA’s chip can run some games.

I don’t need it to run FEAR, just something like Act of War or Command and Conquer Generals.

Please download some demos if you don’t have any semi-recent 3D games around.

Also, please note the device specs (CPU and RAM) in case the protoype is different than the production units.

Please run some 3D and CPU benchmark tools and post the results.

Looking forward to photos and impressions, James!

Does it strike a good balance between accepting pen and finger input vs. screening out the imprint of your palm/stray finger?

How is the speed?

I wanted a umpc with the control on the left and the right and left mouse buttons on the left. Is the layout with the mouse buttons on the left awkward?

Battery life?

Here are a few questions…
- how is the casing, does it feel sturdy and strong?
- how sensitive are the screens? Can i lock the screen from touch sensitive behaviours?
- is there any special application from tabletkiosk pre-loaded?
- do we have an option of installing / reinstalling OS?
- will you try installin linux?

I’m not sure if you’ll be installing stuff on it but was curious, but sure i hope you’ll post atleast one blog from the device… awaiting your review
