Fwd: Asus eee tablet (may be renamed to eeeNote) October 2010 (UK ?)

To: staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk
I've only just seen this but it seems to hit a sweet spot for the type of
device i've been waiting / looking for a safety questionnaire project.
That involves reading questions and ticking check box's followed with a
signature at the end of the questionnaire thats linked through Wifi to a
online db server
http://www.eeetablet.net/
Asus also seem to be back in the Linux camp, I thought they had completely
sold out.
Pros -
- e Ink type screen
- Full touchscreen !
- 10 hours charge !
- Pages refresh instantly
- 8 inch so holdable in one hand
- £300 so relatively cheap compared to ITablet type devices.
- Probably has Xandros on it but this means it will soon have other
distros available for it.
- Monochrome LCD, 16 shades of grey
- Wifi
Cons -
- Monochrome LCD
- Will need a rugged version / protector case for the environments
its going to work in.
Can Asus do it again, set the standard for a whole new device format as they
did with the netbook before MS corrupted them.

Apart from you and me, there didn't seem to be any interest. At least,
no-one else responded.

That could be useful to know. I read a review of the aPad in Full
Circle Magazine [1], but it didn't mention battery life. There are
other, similar, Android-based tablets with various screen sizes (there
seem to be a lot with 7" screens) and different versions of Android,
so you should be able to get one with Android 1.6 at least, if not 2.x

by David Boucher
I'd just like to thank Adam and Chris for tonight's VOIP talk.
I found it very informative and we did manage to get a working
demonstration.
