R2H in Australia.

A quick McBlog with coffee and the i7210 while I wait for someone…

Hugo ‘Ubertablet’ Ortega has received one of the first R2Hs in Australia.

Hugo has a nice technical understanding of the issues that are important to the customer and so I’m looking forward to hearing more.

A couple of questions though Hugo. Does it feel slow and overloaded with software? This is something I’ve seen reported a number of times now.

McSurfing tip: Use Bluetooth over your mobile data plan where possible. Quicker to set up (same config every time,) saves 15% power on a 2006 ultra mobile PC and its more secure. Its even cheaper for me as T-Mobile seems to own and charge for all he hotspots around here.

    Hi Chippy,

    Regrettably it was sluggish and reminded me a lot of the VAIO performance, i.e. overloaded with OEM magic, but not enough simplicity.

    I want to look at getting rid of a lot of that and then see what happens…nothin’ like ADD/REMOVE progrmas.

    Yeah. I have a meeting with an R2H owner on Thursday. Together we can work out some of the best options.

    The other question I forgot to ask in my McRush was – does it come with big or small battery?

    Steve.
