Sharp a lancé en grande pompe ce matin (via Akihabaranews (http://www.akihabaranews.com/fr/news-15829-Wilcom+D4+WSO+16SH+en+mains%21.html)) le Sharp D4 WSO 16HS, un UMPC / MIDs qui marche complètement sur les traces du oQo e2, mais cette fois-ci animé par un Intel Atom Z520 à 1.33 GHz, pas réellement impressionnant au niveau des performances mais qui fait fonctionner semble t'il correctement Windows Vista Familial et tout un cortège d'applications. l'implémentation du dernier né de Microsoft, fortement décrité, relance d'ailleurs le débat sur le système embarqué de ces machines (http://blogs.businessmobile.fr/index.php/2007/11/07/tablet-pc/microsoft-serait-il-en-train-de-perdre-le-march-de-lumpc/) ...
Bonsoir à tous
Vous avez certainement remarqué que le site a été indisponible de Vendredi midi à Samedi soir inclus.
Toutes mes excuses car j'ai encore joué à l'apprenti sorcier en SSH sur la dédibox et c'est un peu a cause de mes gros doigts sur un clavier (c'est tout vu, je fais moins de bétises en ink). Mais bon désormais vous avez un nouveau serveur plus rapide et plus puissant :)
Merci de votre attente et de votre fidélité
Tom's hardware (http://www.presence-pc.com/tests/Atom-MID-22770/) a publié un très intéressant et instructif article sur le nouveau processeur d'Intel, le Atom, qui va prendre place dans une grande majorité des futurs MID s a paraître cette année et dans les années futures
Comme a son habitude et suivant le cycle de renouvellement des ordinateurs portables de la gamme grand public (donc pavillon), Hewlett Packard fait évoluer à la marche les spécifications de sa serie tx2000 pour mettre un processeur un peu plus puissant et un disque dur un peu plus gros, pour les 3/4 prochains mois, le prochain refresh devant intervenir en Juillet ou juste avant le rentrée de septembre
J'utilise abondamment ma tablette pour le Web; le mode portrait confère un usage simple et très appréciable, peut être meilleur qu'un mode paysage. Par ailleurs le Tablet PC est un excellent outil dans le cadre du surf (analogie avec un magasine), notamment s'il est servie par une suite logicielle de premier plan pour cet usage.
Mon navigateur préféré est Mozilla Firefox car il permet de rajouter des fonctionnalités grâce à ses extensions.Cet article a pour but de présenter mes extensions et de partager l'expérience de chacun.
Tom's hardware (http://www.presence-pc.com/tests/ssd-pc-portable-22767/6/) a posté un article concernant l'installation d'un disque SSD dans un ordinateur portable
Pour la navigation internet, vous avez le chois dans plusieurs navigateurs internet sur le marché. Mozilla Firefox, pour ne pas le nommer, recèle de nombreux avantages )à être utilisé sur un Tablet PC notamment grâce à pléthore de plugins intéressants.

Enjoy the unboxing pictures :)

Well,
I got the notice earlier this week that my 02 would ship on Wednesday and get to my house on Friday. It left Singapore as scheduled. I was a little worried that it might get tied up at the Memphis location in the "international" destination holding area. It spent all of 1hour there and FEDEX actually tried to deliver it on Thursday! I picked it up Thursday night from my local FEDEX location and I was happy and on my way.

W-Eee :) I'm now officially one of the coolest kids on the block! I'm typing this post on my Asus 701 (Eee)...
I've quietly been keeping an eye on the Eee since it was announced a few months ago. After all, who's not interested in a $399 ultra-portable sub-notebook?
Not to mention, it's a particularly interesting device if, like me, you're a blogger on-the-go, especially with the built-in webcam.
After using it for less than 24 hours I'm pretty impressed, and so are others, apparently. Th

This morning I popped my 02 out of it's docking cradle, played with it for a few moments, then the keyboard went dead. Totally DEAD. The track stick still moves the cursor, but no keypress registers, nor do the lights light up on Fn, CTL, ALT or SHIFT. Teck support had me run through a few things, but then issued an RMA for repair. External keyboard still works.
Anyone else have this problem?
This is a really interesting, and timely addition to the "Handtops as a Consumer Electronic Device" idea. http://www.handtops.com/blog/170/0/Handtops_as_consumer_electronics.html Here we have a bunch of wearable and compact devices that are a bit outside the box. http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/video-intel-future-of-umpcs
It is nice to see a company like Intel doing some free thinking, and bodes well for the future of UMPC's in general.
The last two years have brought sharply into focus for me a burning question, not 'who makes the perfect handtop?", but rather 'what would constitute the perfect handtop?'.
Having lived with a variety of cell phones, an OQO, a Flipstart and a couple of smaller laptops, all of which I use in various different ways, it has become apparent that, for me at least, there is no single 'perfect' device, and that at very least I would have to have two units to fulfill all my requirements. The fi
The forums are all about the 02 now. And the blogs have been about the 02 too! So where have all the 01 users gone? I still prefer the 01 over the 02. Anybody done any mods, anything? 01 users speak up!
The dust is settling, and the horizon is again in view, but the short term outlook is not as pretty as might have been expected some six months ago. In the short term at least, until Intel releases Menlow with the Silverthorne CPU, we can expect the majority of Handtop and UMPC devices to be constrained to an extent with low performance CPU's.
While there are some notable exceptions to the low powered CPU rule, the Sony UX at present being the most outstanding of these, the writing was on th

Thanks to my faceless friends here I stopped obsessing and ordered my OQO-2 today. I'm sure I'll find something else to obsess about soon enough, but for now...
I ordered Best with Vista Business with Verizon (I think Verizon has better coverage in my area.)
I went with Vista for the supposed better security and possible benefits from features like SmartFetch, ReadyBoost. I also did not relish the thought of deciding to upgrade to Vista with XP installed. OS upgrades are not always a fun
Samsung has released the new Q1 Ultra UMPC/Handtop today. You might remember the Samsun Q1 which was released last year as a UMPC. The Q1 Ultra ups the ante by including a split QWERTY keypad, increased battery life, LED backlit LCD and other upgrades.

Question for current OQO users: I can see thumb typing or tablet style use when standing or sitting not at a table. I am wondering about the experience of using the OQO if you are seated at a table or desk. Is the fixed & flat position of the screen uncomfortable in that type of setting? It would seem setting it down on a surface is not a practical way to use it. Anyone care to comment?
Perhaps this is a touch too big for some people to be called a handtop, but it's a tempting looking device with a bevy of connectivity options.
