Hugo Ortega of Ubertablet PC. has done a really good and detailed video review of some of the core features of the Tablet Kiosk eo and Samsung Q1 origami-based UMPC’s.

I found Hugo’s comments about the ‘xyz factor’ very interesting. He talks about the difference between active and passive touchscreens, using your ‘pinky’ and the advantages of the eo’s mouse pointer. In fact he goes as far as to say that the eo is a ‘productivity winner.’ and that ‘handwriting is a much better experience on the eo.’

Its not only Pommies that winge becuase Hugo has a good old Aussie moan about the Samsung pen and the eo speakers.

In summary, he thinks that the Samsung is the better multimedia player and the eo is the productivity tool.

Thanks Hugo. These videos are going to help a lot of new users with their UMPC choices.
