Icons and text aren't any bigger. IMHO, Motion have made a big mistake putting in an 800x600 screen. I can see why they most likely did it (Windows screen objects are all bitmapped so the icons would have been too small for many people to read) but it precludes viewing a typical A4 page, portrait, in PDF for example. The 800x600 resolution isn't good enough to show typical fonts. So, this doesn't represent progress. The Itronix GoBook http://uk.itronix-europe.com/product...booktablet.asp (sold under some other name in the USA) has been doing all this, more or less, for years, and at 800x600 is just as limited to applications where one doesn't have to view PDFs properly. I use a 4" pocket/pc PDA (Tosh E800, HP 4700) at 640x480 which is nearly equivalent to a 1280x1024 at 8" and it is small but usable. 1024x768 would have looked great at 8". I don't know why somebody doesn't break away from packaging the same old stuff, same old LCD panels, same old processors and chipsets and fans, in tablet computers... Microsoft aren't stopping anybody. The technology in laptops has moved on - see the ultra-thin Sony 500 for example. I have one of these. WAY ahead of what one gets in tablets. |
