I hope this is a better device than the abomination that is the Pan Digital photo frame my mother in law bought me for Christmas.
Crappy hardware, ugly, difficult to use.
I'm looking forward to a profusion of great (and open) tablets to compete with the iPad, but I'm betting this won't be one of them, sadly.
At $200, I doubt that's a capacitative screen, which is a deal breaker for people who are buying the machine to use themselves.
- dave1619 16y agoI agree... the screen is likely to be terrible, especially at the $200 price point. But it's still remarkable a $200 touchscreen 7" tablet.
- Groxx 16y agoI dunno, if you make the interface basic enough, and treat it as a reading device, I doubt there would be a need for a capacitative screen. Tap to go forward, tap back, and basic dragging is easily possible with other methods. Capacitative is just a bit more reliable (with fingers, worse with anything else) and reads multiple inputs more easily. If it's not a generic app platform, do you need multiple-finger input? Especially on a decent-sized screen? On an iPhone, certainly, there's no room to waste on UI, but on 7"?
