I wish this thing was resistive, because then I could do Corel and Photoshop on here and rid of my Bamboo.

And btw have you seen the Archos 5/7. Those tablets have AMAZING design and a kick ass linux-OS to boot.]]>Sep 9th 2009 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/Sep 9th 2009 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/
Why didn't you calibrate it in Tablet settings then?

"Archos had to build its own touchscreen keyboard to replace Microsoft's woefully inadequate implementation"

The Windows 7 tablet keyboard is resizable and perfectly touch friendly.

Perhaps we could get someone who knows what he's doing to review these things. If you can't even get the basics right then why should we care about what you have to say about resistive vs. capactive screens? I'd recommend Gizmodo's review to anyone who's interested in this tablet.]]>Sep 9th 2009 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/

I wonder if you can use this thing as a thin client computer that can wirelessly attach to your main rig. It would be fun to use this away from the desk to edit photos, illustrations or video on the touch screen, while the big computer is humming away in the next room processing your stuff. ]]>Sep 9th 2009 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/Sep 9th 2009 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/
Did you see the huge price drop in them also it is because no one wants them and Archos charges you for every little upgrade you want to do on the system. Complete with in O/S advertising. Sorry it would be very hard for me to trust Archos again. I am looking at the Viliv system but even that one has some problems. ]]>Sep 9th 2009 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/
They will never learn. They could have been the I-p*** killer. But no. All they care about is money not the customer. And that is where they went horribly wrong. Oh well another shit company bites the dust. When their dead I will go dance on their grave, laughing hysterically.]]>Sep 9th 2009 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/Sep 9th 2009 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/Sep 9th 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/
The fact that they have their own Virtual keyboard worries me. What else did they screw with? Will we see an Amazon like problem where shit just get deleted? Or more like the, well I forget the company name, but they sent their devices out with spyware, to spy on their own customers. All I know is this and their other devices wont ever make up for their crappy OS (yes even if it is originally Win7), their poor customer service, shitty hardware, and their nickle and dime techniques.

I personally think they both have their positives and negatives like most things but Engadget sure need to tone down the bias and just report as objectively as they possibly can because I can understand the frustration a lot of readers are having with the blatant preference for capacitive.]]>Sep 9th 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/Sep 9th 2009 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/

What, never heard of UMPC's?

Interesting piece of hardware though, especially with Win7. Wonder how it stacks up against the Viliv's.]]>Sep 9th 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/
I'll basically be comparing the different VNC and automation (remote control) applications; and perhaps the Mainlobby client/server suite of applications as well.

If they both handle them well, then it'll come down to speed and price.

/thumbsup to Archos though. This device looks hawt!]]>Sep 9th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/archos-9pctablet-hands-on/
