Don't they use these on Star Trek anyways?]]>Nov 17th 2009 1:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/
These things are good for waitresses, waiters, and people roaming a shop floor or warehouse.

"Pen computing" died for a good reason. LET IT GO.]]>Nov 17th 2009 8:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/

Also, the part from the website that made my jaw drop just a little bit: The driver hardware is scalable up to 30"

You can currently order OEMs of just the film and driver up to 12", which would be pretty fine in itself.]]>Nov 17th 2009 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/
So, yes - the slate PC concept here isn't likely to sell much without wifi but another developer might just pick up their display and finally bring the concept to the masses in a usable fashion.

IMNSHO the biggest thing holding back "tablet" PCs was the price and lack of multitouch. Who wants to pay 2-3X as much for a laptop with a touch screen? Unless they have a really specific application for using it. Well I say that when some of our Administrators buy them just because they are cool.]]>Nov 18th 2009 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/WiFi and Bluetooth is included in revision 2 of the Slate PC.]]>Nov 20th 2009 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/

Engadget did some really shitty reporting for this many people to think this was intended to be a consumer product.

It's a proof of concept. They built it from a Mini 10 using their multitouch display to show what was possible. They are hoping to show developers how well the screens work with Windows 7. Then perhaps, an actual hardware company like DELL will pick up the screens and make an actual product with wifi.

"The MDK series are multi-touch Development and evaluation Kits. They are used for evaluating Stantum multi-touch technology and designing multi-touch applications.

It is based on Stantum's unique 7 years of experience in design and production of multi-touch systems."

I think Engadget should have been a little more tongue in cheek about contacting them to buy one but still.]]>Nov 18th 2009 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/

The older I get the more I'm starting to understand those rude people I find online telling people to RTFM. ;^D]]>Nov 18th 2009 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/17/stantums-unlimited-multitouch-meets-mini-10-in-a-fight-to-the-d/
Revision 2 now features WiFi and Bluetooth. We will ask Joseph if he can edit his post to reflect that.

We are always open to your ideas so do not hesitate to comment this blog entry. We read all your comments.
