www.netbooknews.com I never thought that I would consider a Windows Tablet in my life, but the ExoPC has made me rethink my hardline position on Windows Tablets. It isn’t the hardware or even the build of the tablet that makes us take note its the capacitive touch screen and custom UI. It doesn’t hurt that the device will run multiple applications including 720p HD playback. ExoPC tablet to ship with Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator which makes sense. I am even willing to over look the tragic battery life of roughly 5 hours, it was interesting to find out why ExoPC went with the N450 over Menlow which was because the N450 supports higher screen resolutions. We would like to see the battery life improve, so since this is a key feature for me, the price point of 9 seems a bit steep, I’d pay 0-0, maybe 0 for this tablet, but 6 is just far too high for such battery life. But hey it is all about what you are happy with and if you are looking for a device that will port windows applications, then this is you tablet!

The curtain has been raised (slightly) on the next installment of Microsoft’s Windows operating system – Windows 7.
Microsoft hope it will bring the internet, mobile phone and PC closer together. But reviews have so far been mixed, although reviewers have been limited to trying the (pre-beta version).
The full version is expected to be capable of working with a touchscreen screen, navigating documents and the Web similar to Apple’s iPhone. It is officially released at the end of 2009.
“I have seen the future, and it is bleak. Windows 7, the next big version, the one that was supposed to fix everything that was wrong with Vista, is here (at least in pre-beta form), and I can now say – with some confidence – that Microsoft has once again dropped the ball.
“Overall, I’m extremely disappointed with Windows 7. Far from atoning for Vista’s sins, Windows 7 simply carries them forward, visiting them upon yet another generation. Windows 7 is no panacea. Rather, it’s just more of the same: slow, bloated, and frustrating as hell.”
“When it comes to Windows 7, Microsoft hasn’t just learned from the mistakes of Windows Vista. It has picked up a thing or two from Apple’s OS X, judging by first impressions.
“It’s not clear how big the changes are so far. If you put the beta-build of Windows 7 side-by-side with Windows Vista, you’d be hard-pressed to spot the differences. Yes, some of the icons look slightly different and there’s no sidebar, but it’s essentially still the Vista look and feel. But that changes when you start to use Windows 7.
“For a start the OS won’t nag you as much; many notifications are banished to a control panel, you get to approve icons before they show up in the system tray and Microsoft has reined in Vista’s useful but annoying UAC prompts; you can choose which ones you want to see or turn them off altogether.”
“Initially Windows 7 looks similar to Vista, but there a lot of new features that have been added. Under the skin, Microsoft has been working hard. Boot times have been reduced, and certainly the review laptop Microsoft provided has a fairly snappy boot time.
“Microsoft has been working with OEMs to improve battery life – simple things such as reducing the timer frequency can improve battery life by up to 10 per cent. The networking stack has had new diagnostics added to help users figure out exactly where the problem lies.
“So, is this all a big deal? It’s not a change to the fundamental core of Windows, and most of the improvements sound relatively small. But taken together, they seem to address many of the issues people have had for Windows. I’m looking forward to trying it out, starting this afternoon.”

Excellent! Now PLEASE get the device to market so that I and friends can actually buy one! I love my tm2 convertible TPC and I want to stay on Windows 7 for a pure slate device and it looks like they are finally comming, with device along with Asus, MSI, and heck maybe HP is rethinking, if a no name can make a good Windows 7 slate device then why not the #1 PC company in the world?

That’s nice, but all we’ve been seeing at Computex is tablets, loads and loads of tablets. Sascha, where’s the Viliv N5? No UMPCs?
at 6:02 am
that female voice right at the end of the video was kind of sexy and creepy at the same time, but this Tablet looks nice, shame it’s another boring Intel based system, I want more AMD, VIA, and ARM based systems, which usually give more bang for the buck then most Intel based systems.
