What antivirus software are you using on the S5? Have you seen a hit in performance with it?

Thanks for pointing out that Vortex is now available, it’s now been purchased. I await the final book and will purchase it too. Your work is great and I am a big fan. I hoist this stregg in memory of Chris Bunch.

Folks, Allan Cole is the co-author of the Sten series I love so much.

Bear in mind that this is a “widescreen” format so at 800×600 things are a little stretched width-wise. It’s very usable though and I’ve done it a few times just to try it.

I have been using the USB 3G modem with the S5 so it’s not an issue for me.

I’m considering whether the S5 would be a replacement for my trusty HTC!

How easy is it to change screen resolution on the S5? Is it set up like the “old” UMPCs where you could easily switch between 800×480, 800×600 and 1024×600?

What are the physical dimensions of the screen (height and width)?

Thanks!
