ExoPC Slate
For the same price as the iPhone, soon to be able to get Windows 7 11-inch tablets.
ExoPC board storage comparable to the iPad (32 or 64 GB), but also has a webcam, with hardware acceleration for Flash (and Silverlight), handwriting recognition, full USB port and SD card slot - and, of course, it works the entire Windows application you want.
If this was enough to compete with the iPhone, PC makers Apple have been selling in the month. IPad can be blocked and much less powerful than the PC, but at the same time elegant, lightweight and extremely helpful.
For all the advantages of Windows, which makes the Tablet PC, cheap, portable and attractive is not so simple.
The announcement IPad also launched a wave of announcements and Tablet PC slate. Although the tablet PC is powered pencil handwriting recognition since 2003, an increase in the number of netbook touch in the last year, much of this new generation of light platforms Windows keyboard without the submission report was late 2010 that since the announcement of availability.
They were beaten in the market not only iPhone, but Android Galaxy Tab sell a lot I also budget for devices, such as Advent Vega.
Major PC makers that Windows is not good enough for a device without a keyboard is designed for consumers, rather than the general public industrial and commercial users (hence, Windows Embedded tablets of entertainment that we seen the place).
Some, like Dell and Toshiba, were quick to capitalize on the enthusiasm of buyers for Android instead. Disappointing Viewsonic ViewPad 10 dual boot just arrived, and while Microsoft promotes HP has announced its list at CES 2009, but sold now (in very limited quantities, including HP, focusing on WebOS tablet in press).
This means that Windows 7 runs happily on a wide range of Atom netbooks, which has yet to demonstrate that it is an operating system and touch panel. There are pills that do? Could be.
ExoPC Slate has taken so long to be available, because it is a small Canadian company that had to change providers and is in talks with distributors in some countries (especially in the United Kingdom).
He also developed its own touch user interface application startup, a promising approach, which remains the current way of doing it (and not put in the way, if you want to stick with the standard Windows interface 7, which has some optimizations to the touch.
There is a wide frame around the touch screen, so you can follow without having to worry about touching the screen and rounded corners and smooth elegant and attractive carpet in the back that is comfortable to wear (and the texture double holes speakers to give a good grip on the road).
The top panel contains an ambient light sensor and a 1.3 megapixel webcam, the bottom a bit wider than the other, to give more than a handful in portrait mode (and that will help you collect in the sense common, regardless of the time).
High resolution screen is perfect for video, but it also means that you can put an entire Web page (a page or a Word document or book) in portrait mode.
We have seen more and more brilliant screens, but they are high-class laptops, Sony, and the screen quality is quite satisfactory, especially if you have the brightness up.
With a little bit disappointing is the angle of vision, if ExoPC slate leaning on their knees, it really can look as if it is disabled. This is not a problem if you have promised on the bench, but sometimes we like to see integrated into the stand.
In addition to the dock connector on the bottom, all ports are located on one side of the screen: the headphone jack when you want to use a headset or a microphone, two USB ports, an SD card slot (which can be used for additional storage or easy to transfer images from camera) and a mini-HDMI port. This gives you 1080p output, so you can control the projector or large screen tablet television.
There is a SIM slot on the side too, although our review model did not have a 3G module. Fork and small, whereas it is much more than the iPhone charger, the only food that one. Small and lightweight for PC (smaller and lighter than the Sony Vaio P adapter, for example)
If you are in the Windows screen, select Start Menu person - long before drivers are loaded bar - no need to connect a keyboard, a light sensor in the upper left, also marks a button you can press the touch screen to navigate through the menu, and then five seconds to use as a key.
This is a nice touch to hide one of the few areas where cracks in touch Windows-only device - everything else, even the BIOS works with the contact. Although we like to see a counter hardware, hardware volume control and mute button.
The power button on the back of falls conveniently at hand while holding the tablet in landscape mode (you should get to use this instead of pressing too long, raising the platform and gives it to sleep at a time .)
Despite centuries of books and magazines led us to use the tablet in portrait mode, ExoPC user interface means you'll spend plenty of time to use it in landscape mode.
