Long time Tablet PC user Maraderz has shared via YouTube a demonstration of the ink-friendliness of the Fujitsu UH900 with resistive touchscreen vs. the Lenovo S10-3T with capacitive touchscreen. Both have their advantages, but for inking, the winner is clear (and both would get their pens handed to them by an active digitizer).

Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE Review: A Worthy Successor to the Original (Video)
TweetShareEmail When Sprint had debuted the original WiMax-capable HTC EVO 4G nearly two years ago, it was an instant hit on the Now network. Not only was the HTC EVO 4G the first 4G smartphone in the world taking advantage of Sprint’s then speedy WiMax network, but it brought some new features and pizzazz to [...]
TweetShareEmail Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop. Thus, it had several full-size ports, a rugged-ish exterior, and a thick chassis to accommodate both. Though a decent tablet, the Thrive didn’t [...]
Samsung Shows That It Is a Software Company

That doesn’t mean that Samsung is shying [...]

The Ballistic Tough Jacket iPad Case for the New iPad and iPad 2 shields your iPad from accidents at a a better price than Otterbox. The Ballistic Tough Jacket uses three layers of shielding on the back, extra absorption [...]
This really dashes my hopes of being able to use a stylus with the iPad. A while back you said you were excited about it, Sumocat. Does this change that opinion?
Not really. I’ve already anticipated and experienced the drawbacks shown here, so for me now, it’s a matter of pondering ways to overcome them.
I believe that the various resistive touch technologies out there will be the future because they, unlike the capacitive technology, are not restricted to specific inputs.
Solutions that are as thin as the human hair is already being developed (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8504373.stm).
“Maybe I should do it like the Internet, and use a sausage”. Hahaha, lol!
Thanks, this was very useful!
I guess none of the new devices are for me :(
Thanks. Seriously though, this video really makes me appreciate my TC1100…
I agree! The active input on the TC1100 and my 2730P puts all this to shame! Even the resistive input on my P1620 with palm rejection technology is better than this, and even that is frsutrating beyond belief sometimes now that I am used to the active digitizer like on the TC1100 0r 2730P.
The only thing I can think of is that the active digitizers must be very expensive and that is what is keeping them off the new devices, especially the touch screen netbook devices. Before that is given as the only explanation, however, keep in mind the list price on the Fujitsu P1620 was more than either the HP TC1100 or the HP 2730P.
For my next device to replace my workhorse 2730P (my college student son is using my TC1100 with OneNote and loves it, and my daughter uses the P1620 as a netbook around the house) I want a slate with a 9″ screen with an active digitizer *and* multitouch. It is unfortunate that nobody seems to think this is a viable product!

I enjoyed this!
I have found the P1620 to be quite hard work, harder even than the P1610 (don’t know if there was any HW difference). A Viliv S7 I’ve been using has been a good experience though. The UH-900 I ordered is going back; not the least because calibration is way out. I presume resistive touch is the most mature touch tech?
A modern day TC1100 would be my dream tablet. TC1100 FTW!
Count me in for the 9″ to 12″ slate slate with an active digitizer and multitouch. I would also like a desktop dock so I can connect to an external monitor and keyboard and thus also use this as my primary PC at the office.
Sign me up for that modern day TC1100 as well! :-)
