Thanks for the link, I have yet to discover all the different resources for UMPCs…

Together with the link at GottaBeMobile regarding the new battery for the R2H (http://www.proportable.com/detail.aspx?ID=188) this seems to be more and more interesting…

Hello Steve,

I am looking for a completely silent UMPC – would R2H satisfy in this regard? I need a portable WinXP based machine for audio recording and this is essential. Btw, UMPC would not be used as a recorder, but only as a recorder controller, with very undemanding software. Therefore the processing power is not of great importance…

Rgds,
Marin

Hi Helge.

Yes is the short anwer.

But it takes some work. There’s a set of threads at Origamiportal.com

Would it be possible (in theory) to change the operating system to something more suited to such a small system, like a customized Linux (Qtopia)?

Did anyone already try this?

Hi Jan Peter.

The touchscreen is much heavier than the i7210. Very similar to the eo v7110. That means that casual screen-touches with the finger don’t work. (The nail usually works) but it does mean that it’s better for handwriting on the upper part of the screen as the palm can be rested on the screen without affecting the handwriting.

My preference is for finger touch becuase I want to use it in the car and I don’t use handwriting much.

Steve.

Hi Steve,
thanks for sharing your experiences with the R2H. I have a question about the touchscreen, which, according to another report, is less sensitive then the touchscreen of the tabletkiosk i7210. Could you perhaps make a comparisson?

Hi Aviruth.

regarding driver I have to say that I don’t know which one is required.

Hoepfully we can pull together a list of background program improvements for the R2H. It needs it, but it will take time to get details together I think.

If I get more time with the R2H i’ll try and make a post about it.

Regards.

Steve.

Hehehe more question for ya Steve, you mentioned about cleaning up the things being run on the task manager.could you suggest which ones to shut down please? (again, i have to remind you, i am quite below average capability with these things so apologies in advance if it sounds stupid asking you the driver question above and now this question again)Cheers

Hey Steve,

Hope you are having a wonderful friday night.About the improved fingerprint driver that i should get on the page that you suggested, which one on the page is it?Please let me know.Thank you and take care:)
