It is better looking than all the other tablets out there. I recall seeing an Apple patent filed for touch screen gestures that fit for a laptop-size screen. They entered the touch screen research planning on a tablet, if you recall. But of course the general consensus is that if it runs osx, it should run on Apple hardware, which might skew analysis of the produc's sales. The stylus is kinda lame, but I do like the treated screen. It's the only thing the Apple iphone may be missing. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CeriumCV]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 11th 2007 10:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Axiotron's ModBook: distributed by OWC, tolerated by Apple]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/axiotrons-modbook-distributed-by-owc-tolerated-by-apple/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/axiotrons-modbook-distributed-by-owc-tolerated-by-apple/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was happy to finally see pictures of the product, and I not completely disappointed.  It's reasonably good looking and I'm sure combination of wacom + osX in one package must be a hoot to use.<br><br>I would like it to be a bit lighter and thinner then the pictures suggest (though it's hard to gauge it accurately from what I've seen so far.)<br><br>However the deal killer (for me) is all the models only coming with Intel's on board video.  For what I need a tablet for, Sketchup mostly... occasionally WoW, it has to have something more robust video-wise.<br><br>I guess I'll go back to trying to finagle getting an LG Xnote C1 into the US somehow.<br><br>Oh apple... you almost had me as switcher...  <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lear]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 10th 2007 3:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Axiotron's ModBook: distributed by OWC, tolerated by Apple]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/axiotrons-modbook-distributed-by-owc-tolerated-by-apple/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/axiotrons-modbook-distributed-by-owc-tolerated-by-apple/</guid><description><![CDATA[Apple has no beef here because once they are sold, Apple's control ends.  These Macs were sold to another OEM, and they can do whatever they want to them.  They are no longer sold as "MacBooks", and Apple's warranty is obviously voided, so the OEM now covers them.<br><br>It's done all the time.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gordy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 10th 2007 9:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Axiotron's ModBook: distributed by OWC, tolerated by Apple]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/axiotrons-modbook-distributed-by-owc-tolerated-by-apple/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/axiotrons-modbook-distributed-by-owc-tolerated-by-apple/</guid><description><![CDATA[Needs.

Just need to be able to sketch, paint and sculpt in 3d, then dump files to my workstation and a slate will do just fine for that.  This is definitely the best looking piece of slate tech I've seen yet.  Though I'm baffled that there still isn't a decent tablet solution that is geared more towards artists than for field work or data entry.  I'm sure many artists would be willing to drop a few thousand dollars on a unit that could handle a heavy workload  and perform well under the stress that modern 3d applications like Zbrush would throw at it.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 22nd 2007 1:14AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
