I'm really surprised with how well Windows 7 works with a touch screen device. Let Josh and other Editors here tell it Windows 7 is horrible for a device liket his. But this guy was able to navigate the user interface FLAWLESSLY. This looks amazing.]]>Mar 15th 2010 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/I love this thing. Just like the other Windows tablet my ONLY gripe is the virtual keyboard just needs to be more basic like apples(D:) and if they could add 2hours more battery life or even double it I'm sold.]]>Mar 15th 2010 6:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/
Any handheld mobile device with FANS is fail. No matter how cheap and powerful the CPU.

I can't accept ugly product, no matter how cheap it. This kind of stuff should design for people have extra money to spend. So, damn, it MUST HAVE BETTER LOOKING.

iPad has 3G though which is a must for a lot of people. This device appears to have bluetooth from the blue light on the top corner. I think for a lot people this could be a great intemediary computer. That actually fills the space between netbook and mobile phone.

iPad claims to do that, but really it is the space between an iPhone and an iPhone.

I don't think this thing has an accelerometer though. But I could be wrong. The storage is much larger but not SSD...

There is a lot of choices to be made. Personally I am waiting for more information on the courier. But this is definitely interesting.

If $877 is the base price then that could be seen as an issue as well. That's a lot of money for a bottom end spec. Though, if that is the top price point then that's pretty darn good, but unfortunately it doesn't sound like that.

A lot of these tablet offerings are shoving netbook specs into them, where as other ones are using boosted phone hardware. This makes it a question of what this device is really supposed to be. Is it a regular netbook with a touchscreen and UI improvements instead of a keyboard? Or is it something "new", as in an oversized mobile device (PMP/phone) banking on new and unique development opportunities? There are a lot of contenders on either side of the question.

For better or worse, I think that battery life is going to kill out the former. Also, the former has somewhat been done before. Unless full OS developers start making specialized tablet offerings, they are going to be stuck in the shadows.]]>Mar 15th 2010 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/Mar 15th 2010 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/
You'd sacrifice 1080p, hdmi out, snappier processor and upgradable ram for half an inch of thickness?

1080p, HDMI aren't really essential for a mobile device.

I seen absolutely zero purpose for 1080p video on a tablet, I already have 3 other devices for that (like most people in the iPad's target demographic, i'd guess). That considered, HDMI isn't that useful anymore either, why would I want to hook up a portable screen to another non-portable screen... Upgradeable RAM? I'd rather have only apps that are programmed to work with what's available than having to upgrade anything at all, just give me something that works. ]]>Mar 15th 2010 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/Pick looks if you want to. Rest of us need functionality to go with it. If i am carrying something that doesn't fit my pocket, i would rather have it an inch thicker than a mile behind in functionality.
And wasn't it Steve's aim to annihilate the netbook market? So, will that happen by ..err.. cutting even more features?

I do wish we get to customize our gadgets. And not in the limited sense that we do today, It just sucks to compromise in one department or the other.

This processor and graphics card isn't sufficient for 1080p output via hdmi (assuming it does both audio and video) for DVD scaling, blu Ray (assuming you can add an optical drive via USB) and most definitely isn't going to play any of the streaming services. This is based on my experience with intel integrated graphics in more powerful 1.6 Ghz core duo processor and 3gb RAM.

Also the hard drive on this is going to make it slower than SDD.

Finally cramming a product with features does not make it more usable or better. If that were the case the wii would have been dead last in sales and the ps3 the first. However, we know it's just the reverse. It comes down to user experience. Most people here don't realize that the 'only' part of flash they will 'ever' see on their netbook is flash ads. Not one of those video streaming sites will work well. Flash support on netbooks is just a check list item since it isn't a usable feature. It's gonna slow down the machine while offering no real benefits. The same for multi tasking.

The products are just drawer stuffers. People buy them and stuff them in drawers. They won't be very usable. Hence why I seldom see people actually use netbooks. In fact I've never seem anyone use a netbook in public. Never. Not one time that I recall. I bet it's because how crappy they perform. Just for reference, I used to take the train from DC to New York very frequently where people are always on their computers or phones.]]>Mar 15th 2010 7:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/Features allow us to play with the device and customize it according to our needs. That accounts for better "user experience".

Btw fhat processor and GMA4500 graphics can handle 1080p and the SSD will slow down over the time, i guarantee.
And people buy and use netbooks. Otherwise, they would be out of production,

Not sure where you're getting your information. Jobs compared the iPad to netbooks, but since Apple is only planning to sell a small number of iPads relative to the netbook market, Jobs' aim apparently isn't "to annihilate the netbook market".

Back to the topic, this device is impressive. Surface Globe and the photo app look sweet! Reminds me of Jeff Han's multitouch demos from 2006.

However, how much does the BC10C weigh? Is it fan-less? Are the vents on the bottom going to be a problem when using it while curled up with a blanket?

Also there are some immediately apparent concerns:

- The Windows7 UI looks somewhat cumbersome on a tablet
- The device is thick (especially at the edges… a more tapered device will be more comfortable to hold one handed)
- The 3 to 3.5 hours battery life is mediocre (hopefully they'll improve it before launch, but even if they get it up to 4 to 5 hours, you'll still need to carry around a brick)
- It's expensive (so is the top-of-the-line iPad, but the base iPad is reasonable)]]>Mar 15th 2010 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/

What I am pointing out here is, that while people are quick enough to say that netbooks are underpowered and hence, useless; they don't realize that ipad isn't superbly powered as well.

Steve clearly said that netbooks do not fulfill the gap between the smartphones and the laptops. And they think they can and make netbooks redundant.

However, Apple is gearing up only to produce 5-10M iPads per year and a crapload more netbooks sell than that. So, it doesn't appear that he intends to annihilate that market.

In the event I want to take my video content over to my homeboy's/girl's house with the big, fat flatscreen, HDMI is useful.

In the event I do video presentations and like the idea of carrying something lighter (or just running my presentation rig separate from my mobile desktop rig) HDMI is useful.

such and so forth.

This is, basically, what I was looking for in a full OS tablet. The batt life isn't what we'd like - and that's caused me to be more accepting of the mobile-OS slates. Still, I think this makes for an interesting semi-mobile device. Particularly if it were dockable....take the UMPC, cut the UM and add "room mobile".

Diversity in devices brings variety to solutions.

Now, if we could just spread some of that prosperity around to the rural Chinese....]]>Mar 16th 2010 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/Mar 15th 2010 4:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/

Part of the reason Apple went with a non-multitasking mobileOS was so they wouldn't need a battery-draining CPU and could have a thin, lightweight device. In that context, the iPad is not powerful.

On the other hand, the iPad is capable of smooth XGA video playback and gaming and it appears to be very responsive.

Another example of a device that's well thought out the iPad (although it's still missing a few features) and a device that merely chopped off its keyboard just to called itself a Tablet. Place it on a table and it's virtually unusable at a certain angle.

This is why I don't get you people.

When you point out the a strength on a competing device, that's not marketing. I point out an obvious strength on the iPad, well that's just marketing? Are you paid well?

If you put this up for consumers (most happen to know nothing about technology and go for looks most of the time) along side and iPad, I doubt that they will reach 100 sales. This thing is ugly, sure it pushes 1080p but what about a clean side, better battery life and slimmer profile.

Remember how iPod won over better competition (better performing MP# players) it was all due to simple functionality and looks. I'm not a Mac fan (ijust so you don't start calling me macboy or w/e) but it seems that ppl really don't know how to innovate and make things appealing. If you want to make it in this world, you have to learn how to cater to other people besides us who know what 1080p means and such. ]]>Mar 15th 2010 5:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/You want thinner and better battery life (and, uh, more bezel), get the Hanvon BA10E. It also has an aluminum shell and back, for those individuals who commented here that they hated the "ugly" back of this device.

IMHO, the only mistake Hanvon made with this tablet is offering it with a 10" screen instead of a 7". But I might buy it despite that.]]>Mar 15th 2010 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/15/hanvons-multitouch-tablet-previewed-surfaces-in-china-march-25/http://www.flickr.com/photos/eekthecat/4413758418/in/set-72157623571164002/

What advantage is the touch screen in this device offering over a traditional laptop? You still have all the annoyances of Windows, compounded by a slow processor. It's much better just to get a powerful laptop with hardware the OS was designed to run on. Or an iPad ;0) If you want speed, portability and a far more usable interface.]]>Mar 15th 2010 4:46AM
