This is getting silly. At Christmas, my ‘desktop’ i7210 UMPC stopped working. Earlier this week I dropped the Kohjinsha and killed the hard drive and today I’ve just killed a Nokia N800. As I went to put it down on my desk it slipped from about 10cm high. I didn’t even consider it a problem until I turned it over and saw the faded, almost colour-inverted image on the screen. I’m so annoyed. It does proves one thing though, UMPCs are fragile and a slightly rugged UMPC is clearly something that needs to be near the top of the list when making a choice. The trouble is, there aren’t any in the sub $2000 bracket. Roll on the TabletKiosk v7112XT.
Now seems like a good time to mention the Boxwave Flexiskin that Ctitanic took a look at over on Ultra Mobile PC Tips.
Update: Before I even sent this post, my Wife called to tell me her notebook screen has broken. Is there some sort of sunspot activity this week?
TGIFriday.
