James, Love my S5 but am looking for handwriting recognition for Office and other applications. Recomendations?

hey there, i have a question to ask. My S5 seems to have some hardware problems when it heats up. You know the sound that windows prompt you when you plug your USB device in and out? I notice when i have my S5 wifi on for a period of time, that sound starts and keeps going on and off unless i switch off my S5 and let it cool for awhile. Any ideas on that?

Viliv has a new Wifi driver on their website today.

I’d love to be auto-notified of this once it’s in place. I just ordered two Viliv’s, one for me and my wife each. yay!

I can’t wait for Win7 to operate perfectly on this. Isn’t there a version of inking, making XP Tablet edition, that allows the ink context in all text input boxes?

I received an email from Dynamism today that said due to the problems during the yesterday’s pre-order there will be an additional 400 units with the free promo kit for sale on May 14th at 1pm EST (ship date May 24th). They will also be beefing up their server farm to handle the traffic.

I think this is pretty nice of them to do this.

Will you install Windows 7 on the demo unit, or on the one you buy?

Will it still be able to resume from standby quickly, or do you expect that to be lost?

Is there a way to put Vonage, or something similar, on it, so I don’t have to buy one of the wretched Verizon phones when my phone dies?

Where can one get one of these little devils? I tried Dynamism but they’re sold out.

James, which media player you suggest to play on this little machine that will play smooth for some H.264 movie clips? thanks

The S5 performs much better than the OQO I evaluated back when.

James, I have been following your S5 posts and they have have me foaming at the mouth. I can’t wait for tomorrow. I do have to ask about a comparison with an OQO (speed, heat, scrren, etc.) I have a model 2 with vista (have played with Win7 with flakey results). I realize they are two completely different machines, but just wanted your thoughts. Thanks and keep up the great work.
