Well, thank god you're not the final arbiter of how netbooks should evolve.

I'll take a convertible tablet like the EEE T91 over something without a physical keyboard any day. Even with a hinge, the T91 is pretty slim, and actually useful for doing more than poking at big fat media icons and social networking widgets (not that there's anything wrong with that).

I would love to have something like this in class and then write my notes on it, instead of fumbling around on a touch screen keyboard.. My laptops keyboard will be wayyy better than a keyboard on that tablet.

So, no resistive, no deal!]]>Jul 2nd 2009 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/Jul 2nd 2009 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/Jul 2nd 2009 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/Umm dude you can have a jet pack right now!

- if your UI is designed for stylus interaction, or if you need it for precise drawing, it won't work well.

Actually, one way to find out for sure might be putting some (again, SOME) water on it (a larger-than-normal drop should do). If that makes it freak out, it's capacitive, if not, it's resistive.
That's only if you want to be dramatic though, the fingernail still works as a test ;)]]>Jul 2nd 2009 7:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/Jul 2nd 2009 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/Jul 2nd 2009 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/Jul 5th 2009 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/Jul 2nd 2009 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/Jul 2nd 2009 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/Jul 2nd 2009 10:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/Jul 2nd 2009 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/Jul 2nd 2009 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/archos-9-windows-7-tablet-does-a-little-hands-on-time/
