Comments on: Viliv S5 UMPC Turned Into a Tablet PC on Video http://gigaom.com/mobile/viliv-s5-umpc-turned-into-a-tablet-pc-on-video/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 21:57:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: TateJ http://gigaom.com/mobile/viliv-s5-umpc-turned-into-a-tablet-pc-on-video/#comment-422442 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 01:46:50 +0000 http://jkontherun.com/?p=39828#comment-422442 I downloaded the driver and now I can’t find the link.

I found it over at UMPC Mobile PC Tips. It was a link from one of the blog entries. I found it with a google search

I think the driver is from a company called EETI.

Sorry I can’t be of more help.

I found a driver on the web and got Windows 7 to recognize the touchscreen and enable the tablet features. Wow, new life is given to this old umpc. Speedwise, things are the same as with XP. No faster and no slower. The biggest difference is the HWR. Windows 7 is much better than XP or vista. I’ve got a great media player and web device now and I’m gonna try to use it for note taking.

I think Microsoft might have got it right this time.

I have both and would like to give it a try. Thanks

Most everything works great. But Windows 7 did not recognize the touch screen. I can log in using the on screen keyboard in the accessibility menu. But the screen calibration is off at the edges of the screen and there is no way to calibrate the screenn. I have to manuallybring up the TIP.

The Q1 us usable with Win 7. I hope Samsung will update the drivers.

Anyway I’ve always just installed the Wacom penenabled driver (no hardware required) to fool windows into thinking that I had a tablet OS on non tablet machines.

All the tablet bits work and I am using the TIP to write this post. The Everun has a passive digitizer.

I need to stop and think a bit this morning before responding. :) My experience on installing Tablet Edition on multiple passive digitizers is that as long as the digitizer is recognized as an HID device in XP then Tablet will work out of the box. Not all digitizers do that, some are USB devices as far as XP is concerned and as I recall those don’t work at all. Or is reversed? Must be Monday.

I know my old Q1U had XP Tablet.

Also, I’d love to know how he got the Tablet features to work. My company has volume licensing, so I’ve installed XP Tablet on my S5. It shows up on the System Properties window as having XP Tablet, but I don’t have any of the tablet features (no TIP, no right click circle, etc.)

http://jkontherun.com/2009/04/22/windows-xp-handwriting-recognition-vs-tablet-edition/

The reason the tablet functions are not enabled by Win7 is not due to drivers but due to the fact that the S5 does not have an active digitizer.

Now I’m bitterly dissappointed! I thought he’d put an active digitiser on it. If it doesn’t have an active digitiser it’s not a true Tablet PC!
