I am totally jazzed about the modbook though. This is the type of product that Apple should have released.]]>Jan 15th 2008 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 17th 2008 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/
I'm looking at paying ~$3000; I want one machine that does everything I want, has everything I want... and I pretty much want everything except HDD capacity. I'm good with like 8, 16, or 32 GB.]]>Jan 16th 2008 3:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/
Why not get any other sort of real tablet with Vista?]]>Jan 15th 2008 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 8:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/What about them? There have always been plenty of convertable tablets, but I'm talking about slates. Slates are tablets that are a single slab: no keyboard and no hinge. And really, slates are not common. The only options I can find are Fujitsu Stylistic, TabletKiosk Sahara, and Axiotron Modbook. Of these three, the Modbook happens to be the most affordable, AND the most powerful. As far as SLATES go, this Modbook is pretty much the best thing available.
Oh crap: I noticed another mistake in my first post: I meant to say Fujitsu Stylistic. The Lifebook is just another notebook.]]>Jan 15th 2008 10:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/
Yes, that was lame. Really though, it does; and having to worry about viruses and stuff? You Mac users tell him; how do you like your BSD/mach derivative? Yeah, I like my OS even more, and it doesn't even function as a status symbol. Sure, it used to... you know, I don't even care. I like it better this way. When they killed xorg.conf I didn't shed a tear.]]>Jan 16th 2008 4:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/
You've obviously never been married.

Every married man knows you don't get rid of the porn, just keep it out of sight until needed. And if you were married, you'd realize you need it more than you think since women get notoriously stingy after the "I Do."]]>Jan 15th 2008 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 9:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 16th 2008 4:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/
Finally I can work on the computer as I work in one of my sketchbooks.

Hand and eye as one on the go.

My estimated time of purchase of the Axiotron Modbook is June.]]>Jan 15th 2008 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 15th 2008 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 16th 2008 2:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/Jan 16th 2008 2:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/axiotron-modbook-tablet-mac-hands-on/
On a Tablet PC, the 'ink' is integrated with Office such that I can mark up PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, etc., and save them with the annotations.

With the ModBook, will the 'ink' work this way with Office?

Uncle Fungal - That post came in at 1:30 AM which means you're either an international tech in search of grammatical errors the world wide, or an anal American with no sex life in search of grammatical error...

You HAVE to look at this multi-touch demo using this technology here: http://www.n-trig.com/Usa/Content.aspx?Page=PressVideo Even if the demo is running on Vista, it clearly shows the potential of this digitizer. I'd still toss in the GPS, but I'd also add an accelerometer to allow auto screen rotation a-la iPhone. What do you think?
