Problem is regardless, camera will only work if your in the front row. or close to the board.

Me too... or, I would have been, if it had been available a year ago and still had Calc II in front of me. Now I'm not quite sure if it's a value proposition or not.

If it had a Mirasol display, I'd probably have to buy one just on general principles, though. :)]]>May 31st 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/
It is Ugly, heavy and the screen is less than pretty... But you can draw on it!!!!! I want one]]>May 31st 2010 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/...



Its a newton?]]>May 31st 2010 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/i'd think the camera is for taking pictures of books and documents, not recording lectures (your professor might not even like that). ideally, you would then be able to annotate the images--bye bye, photocopier. this would be the first truly compelling application for a tablet i've seen so far.]]>May 31st 2010 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://netbooksreview.net/asus/eee-pc-1201n/

Thanks, but no thanks]]>Jun 2nd 2010 8:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/Jun 2nd 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://j.mp/asus-eee-tablet-prev]]>Jun 2nd 2010 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/you dont have to use the camera to take a picture of the board. you could use the camera to take picture form your text book to add to your notes, such as graphs or diagrams :)]]>Aug 17th 2010 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/May 31st 2010 6:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/Right. Non backlight LCDs always have this little dusty look which makes an already greyscale display feel even less colorful. Not so sexy in my opinion. People like it crisp and shiny.]]>May 31st 2010 6:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/The Newton was totally ahead of its time, and the Courier was basically a modern version of the Newton. I really wish hardware makers could understand this and put some more styluses and less finger wiping.

Well, Asus kind of understood it. We won't get a Courier, but we'll get a new Newton.]]>May 31st 2010 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/May 31st 2010 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/It may end up like the Newton as well.]]>May 31st 2010 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/
Good bye huge piles of paper and folders!]]>May 31st 2010 6:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/ya, good luck replacing all your paper with a screen you can write about 10 lines before turning to the next screen which then takes 10sec+.

They said it was only slow when they flicked through too many pages, not creating a blank one, if you watched the video you would see it created a blank page instantly.]]>May 31st 2010 6:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/so with that little screen ... u think you never want to flick through your records???

If anything they probably have some sort of overview system or contents system for quickly moving between pages rather than having to load each individual one.

Other than that, seeing as they are presenting it's note taking features I would probably be able to readily export my notes to my computer for when I wanted to quickly browse through them.]]>May 31st 2010 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/May 31st 2010 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/
New page is instant. When the time comes they will have 12inch tablets which are lighter then this tablet.

I am really interested in this type of thing, I always loose paper notes which Is why I like to type things, let alone my handwriting sucks.

I can do one single math problem on the screen use as much space as I want then flip to #2 and then #3..ect Then I can come back to my work months later for my Midterm and study off what I wrote.

yeah...because nowadays you spend soooo much time writing things down on paper. ]]>May 31st 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/May 31st 2010 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/As an Engineering student I write all the freaking time.

hardware quality seems nice though.]]>May 31st 2010 6:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/yeah, doesnt look like it can handle my drawing ... sad.]]>May 31st 2010 6:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/sad indeed!
i was so hooping for some sort of mobile cintiq12 or so...]]>May 31st 2010 6:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/The response of the screen seems good enough, they'll just need to improve the contact between the pen and screen (to feel more like pen on paper).]]>May 31st 2010 6:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/but it doesnt seem to have pressure sensitivity or grey levels... which makes sketching really kind of useless.
and then imagine a full sketch when turning the page for a little handwriting already took many seconds.]]>May 31st 2010 6:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/
cheap mobile slate with digitiser? The closest you'll get is a motion computing slate, or if you dont mind 1024x768, good ole HPTC1100.

They better improve load times if asus want this thing to be practical !

So yea it's got the pen sensitivity and such that wacom offers.]]>Aug 15th 2010 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/May 31st 2010 6:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/May 31st 2010 6:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/have you ever attended a meeting, or a lesson?]]>May 31st 2010 6:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/May 31st 2010 7:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/
Yeah if you think Ipad is the optimum device (which is far from it).]]>May 31st 2010 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/May 31st 2010 6:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/More junk from junky commenters]]>May 31st 2010 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/May 31st 2010 6:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/May 31st 2010 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/
A camera is useful when you need to record something that it is difficult to be written on the device (e.g. a chart or a picture). ]]>May 31st 2010 6:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-eee-tablet-preview/
