eeePC 701 Tablet Mod
Mar 10th
The ASUS Eee PC 701 is back yet again with yet another slate tablet mod purposely made for those occasions where the modder wanted to verify actor roles at IMBD in front of the TV. He bought a used Eee PC 701 and touchscreen kit off of Ebay and proceeded to hack the innards with details that go over my head. He is going the Linux route and I’d be pretty interested to see that how goes with a touch screen.
Just a couple of pictures for now but I’m hoping he’ll add some more stuff to see.

The First iPad Comercial

Apple launched the first TV spot for the iPad last night during the Oscars. For the most part, the video appears to show an oversized iPod that’s a bit zippier, and better suited to reading books and newspapers due to its large display.
Viliv S10 Blade Video Review
Mar 8th
UMPC Portal has got in an early production sample of the upcoming Viliv S10 Blade convertible tablet netbook which sports a 10.1” 1366 x 768 display with resistive multi-touch. His particular model came with the Atom Z530 (1.66GHz) processor. Underneath reveals a removable li-poly battery supposedly good for up to 10 hours and an access panel for the 1.8” storage device.
The touch screen gets a workout as Chippy tests out 3 point touch, handwriting, virtual key typing and zooming in out and of webpages whilst pointing out the lack of palm rejection.
The Viliv S10 Blade will be priced at $699 and should be available to preorder from Dynamism very soon. All the configurations are available to check out.
