Jul 2, 2009, 4:22PM Hey guys, Just taken delivery of another UMPC (well it is at work, so i wont get to play until Monday) and thinking of going straight to Windows 7. I got the Samsung NP-Q1U/P01 (1.33GHz, 80GB, XP etc). Has anyone tried this? [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 6:46PM I’ve been very pleased with my Viliv S5 so far, but it can be difficult to write anything of length with its on-screen keyboard. I installed Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 to see if the MID was powerful enough to turn my speech into text. [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 11:36PM The Viliv UMPCs still attract a lot of attention (Xavier is loving using it with Dragon Naturally Speaking) and the good folks at Dynamism have been one of the key reasons why with their special ordering events and packages. [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 5:21PM We’ve seen this coming for quite some time. Archos, well know for their portable media players (PMP) has been slowly adding more and more features like WiFi and encroaching on the line that separates PMPs from Tablets, UMPCS, MIDs, Netbooks, etc… In fact ... [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 10:11PM Put those rumors to rest because T-Mobile is indeed launching the myTouch 3G with Google handset on July 8. This morning I received an invite to the media event in New York City, although I’m on the fence about attending. It’s a solid 2. [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 3:55AM Personalising the Eee PC has now taken another step forward. Thanks for forum member Cms, templates are now available for making your own keyboard skins so now you add character to your Eee PC 1000HE by customising the chiclet-style keyboard with your... [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 7:07PM Howdy All, Does anyone know how to actually contact someone at Axiotron? This is a user forum, and while there are a few posts by people going by the screen name Support One, there does not seem to be a way to get in touch with anyone directly. [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 9:13PM From CNET -Broadpoint AmTech analyst Doug Freedman believes ultra-thin laptop makers are having production problems with the plastic bottom casing often cracking. The solution may be to use metal, as in the case of the MacBook Air and Dell Adamo. [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 12:46AM From Ars Technica -As the netbook market continue to expand, both in terms of available models and in sales, analysts continue to debate the suitability of netbooks to consumer needs. Now the NPD Group's latest report, using direct user surveys, shows... [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 9:19PM From Tech Digest -Asus marketing executive John Swatton has confirmed to Tech Digest their Asus Keyboard will be available end of August. The computer-in-a-keyboard is supposed to be a controllable media center but is also quite portable. [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 7:14AM Just a few weeks ago, we heard a different story of just the opposite, interesting how things are changing so rapidly today and new opinions emerge to the opposite.   The AMA didn’t like the idea of Medicare for all as it is going broke, but so are many ... [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 9:58AM Like I mentioned in an older thread a friend has a problem with his n800 lcd. It was not the capacitor mentioned in the old thread. We tried it and with my lcd his tablet works ok. So his lcd is broken doing ghost lines and some double image. [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 7:19AM can someone make an on-screen keyboard similiar to an iphone/ i pod touch. or even a rotated mode keyboard that works when the screen is rotated? [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 7:32PM The original poster did not ask for a comparison of future versions of the Intel Classmate or XO!My XO laptop CURRENTLY has problems that requires a new version to be built! The XO has 433 MHz AMD Geode CPU,  256 MB of onboard ram, and 1GB of SSD/... [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 3:42PM well, most of the problems will be helped with.The issues with running out of ROM when downloading and decompressing and installing  big files ( media...) or programms not previously installed on root are issues that the local deployment teams... [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 8:26PM  If you’ve been waiting for the 3G version of the Viliv S5, the wait is nearly over. Dynamism have just posted this info:The Viliv S5 special offer is back for one quick encore, but this time, it’s better because the latest Viliv S5 is better than ever. [#]
