1252510 2012-01-09 21:27:00 uh...since when are they the largest manufacturer of computers?

That aside, His points are slightly retarded, new markets can open up and grow without having to kill off an existing line, and new tools open up new ways of working, Trying to dismiss it because it doesn't fit the old ways just demonstrates his limited vision, not the limitation of the platform.

Why are people in denial?, At some stage peoples use of computers will go right past putting letters on a virtual page, and other means of interaction will become the norm, even if laptops still sell in large numbers and dominate the area of "document creation", the scope and use of a light weight,long life, touch screen computer is endless.

Why people question me is a puzzle.

1252512 2012-01-09 21:28:00 Tried it, really didn't like it, it's got nothing on my Transformer :D kinda felt 'weird' using Windows 7 on a touchscreen too, just didn't quite feel 'right'. Chilling_Silence (9)

1252516 2012-01-09 22:22:00 5 Stars means Sanco is as confused now as you can get.

Lmao!!! I was going to get that way for a while Cicero, then I managed to get my wife down to the local noel leeming and we had the pleasure to play with a few options and wife has reached the final verdict: Asus Transformer.

That was a good piece of advice by Chilling Silence, thank you. Now I can go fly fishing in complete peace of mind and with the wife's blessing too!

PS: I thought the five stars were awarded to the best topic for the current month ... lol :)

PPS: Posting my last reply felt a bit odd, like an off topic almost ;)

1252517 2012-01-09 22:40:00 Cool beans :) So you got the Transformer home yet? :D Chilling_Silence (9)
1252518 2012-01-09 23:11:00 1) Everything is thin...
2) You can buy a USB adaptor for most tablets... Transformer dock also has USB ports.:
3) This is still a few years, but organic batteries are coming and WILL change the world.
3) Just get a bluetooth keyboard or the Transformer?
4) They are out them, they are hideous and cost an arm and a leg...
5) Never turn it off? Reality is as long as the apps are well written this shouldn't be an issue.

If only it was slightly cheaper... :(

Who want s a dock just for ports, have them built in otherwise you loose the point of having a tablet

Interesting; I searched for that and found this: www.bit-tech.net

The description of which sounds pretty much the same as this idea too: web.mit.edu that I recall reading last year
