They'll start appearing. I wouldn't have minded this in my laptop days... At this point I'm using an iPad for my mobility needs and I'd rather have a cozy chair although a regular table will do in a pinch.

The case that Apple sells tilts it to a comfortable typing position. -- Charles

Great touchkit for under $100..... They got touchkits for many other brands/models. They just plug in where the camera unplugs and share its USB port, even giving you two extra USB ports if you want to use them for other toys. The touchscreen sticks to the original display with doublesided industrial-strength tape. Works first class and requires only the slightest touch so with finger or stylus touching the screen DOESN'T push the display back on its hinges. It's almost too sensitive, some times. The 25-point calibration with the stylus makes it extremely accurate from edge to edge, top to bottom all the way to the ends of its range. No soldering involved. It all just plugs in and uses about 8ma of current off the 5V bus....less than the camera uses. Comes with drivers for Windows, almost any flavor incl 7, OSX and many Linux flavors. Works great with XPSP3 and Ubuntu 9 here....uses very little resources. It's always an interesting conversation piece with other netbook owners. I've installed over 30 of them for other people....(c;] All the other pointing devices still function normally. Even the Samsung NC10's multitouch pad still functions perfectly without interference from the touchkit. My external Bluetooth mouse (Logitech) also is fully functional with the touchkit. Choose any input device you like without switching between any of them.... -- Creationism is to science what storks are to obstetrics... Larry |
