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.

DIY MS Courier called Harlequin, modded out of a Dell Mini 9
Dec 9th
What you see above is a very talented modder’s DIY dual touchscreen tablet project called the “Harlequin” which was inspired by Microsoft’s Courier and made out of a Dell Mini 9 plus a separate monitor. The Dell Mini 9 was loaded with Windows 7, keyboard removed and replaced with an aftermarket 9-inch USB touchscreen display, and voilà! The person responsible for this is a man named Pak-Kei, and he says he is still working on finishing this obviously unfinished product, with plans to use a custom laser-cut case for it. Think it’s awesome? I sure do.

Foldable USB keyboard simplifies typing with your UMPC
Nov 5th
Most of the UMPC and MIDs available today share the same disadvantage: most of the time the keyboard just doesn’t work well at those tiny key sizes, especially if you have large hands. What to do? One possible solution could be using one of these ultra-portable external keyboards with your UMPC! The device shown on the right for example, bearing the rather technical description “Targus PA875U01X”, weighs just 180 grams at a size of 280 x 108 x 9 mm (unfolded), with 68 full-sized keys in QWERTY layout – enabling easy and smooth ten-finger typing for the mobile email enthusiast
