Did You install Sp1 for vista on P1620 via Windows update?

If Yes give Us more information what drivers stopp install Sp1 to Vista.
And where we find correct drivers ?

Thanks

The middle mouse was too sticky for me

BTW, the F5 is official! The product page is http://www.motioncomputing.com/products/tablet_pc_f5.asp. James was right. First impression is that it’s an C5 clone for mobile field workers. No multi-touch, though it has WWAN.

Thanks ignar for the link on the C1. The P100 apparently lacks a PC Card slot. That’s a show stopper for me since I plan to switch a data card between tablets much as James probably does between his P1620 and 2710p.

Rockville, like you I’ve more or less given up on Motion’s upcoming tablet we’ve dubbed the F5 on GBM. Though if it had capacitive touch functionality I might go for it nevertheless. That’s what I’m waiting for in a 12″ tablet, the X71 being priced out of the ballpark (and I’d rather buy from someone with more of a Tablet PC track record than Dell). Perhaps Motion’s next refresh of the LE1700, which originally was going to be multi-touch. Unfortunately, I think we have a wait.

Since the F5 has not been released, we can all stop thinking about it as it is a full show stopper for what we would want.

Motion seems to be striving for differentiation and vertical markets and wants to keep away from the commercial fray so it doesn’t have to compete with Fujitsu, Toshiba, HP etc.. It’s unfortunate, since an updated LS900 would have most likely given the Fujitsu 1620 a strong competitor.

their only commercial saving grace would be to come out with a 12″ slate that was thin like apple and light to fit in a normal portfolio case that we would carry around instead of paper. that would shake up the market a bit.

For now, It seems its the P1620 or nothing….

TonyP, add me to the list of 2710P users who are not happy with the screen quality. I also considered returning 2710p for its washed out screen, and I am surprised that there are not as many comments about the poor screen by 2710p users as I expected. Some reported that applying a screen protector can improve the screen quality, so that’s what I plan to try soon.

TonyP, what you are describing is typical of anti-glare screens and the P1620 is definitely anti-glare. I don’t find it washed out or bothersome although that can be a personal thing. I’m sorry you don’t like it but I have no problems with the screen at all, I find it vivid and bright and appreciate the fact that it doesn’t glare in direct light.

Genghis, I don’t have any info on the LG, as you pointed out it’s not available over here in the US. I can tell you that if it’s a touch screen only Tablet then vectoring will almost certainly be a big issue as Fujitsu is the only OEM I’ve seen yet to solve that problem.

As you know, I got my P1620 the same day you got yours. I REALLY like it, but I’m pretty unhappy with the screen. I actually own and returned a HP 2710P because I couldn’t stand the matte screen “sparkle” on the model I had (I had the outdoor view one). But the sparkle on this P1620 is just as bad. On a white page like this one, it looks grainy and in bright colors it looks washed out by the sparkle. And if I’m in a moving vehicle it’s like the sparkle is dancing.
I’m surprised I haven’t heard much mention of this in reviews and forums. Maybe you get used to it, but right now, I’m dying for my Fujitsu T4020. James, could you speak specifically to that? Genghis, I would think seriously about the screen if that’s something that’s important to you.

I hate to bring another tablet into the mix (not really) but I discovered (though you already may know about it) the LG P100, which is a refresh of the LG C1 that I also didn’t know about. I’ve posted a brief (though perhaps not 100% accurate) comparison of the P100 to the Fujitsu 1620 at http://blogs.genghiskhent.com/?p=19. James (or anyone), do you have any feedback on the P100 (or C1)?

These choices among tablets are killing me. Glad I don’t have to go through this with women (if I did my wife would kill me and I couldn’t post anymore).

I just bought 2710p, and have been using for about a week. I love this one overall, but there’s a few things that really annoy me.

*lack of middle mouse button (and middle mouse button emulation capability) – two mouse button is fine, but the mouse driver usually gives you middle mouse emulation by pressing both button. I can’t believe it doesn’t have that capability. This to me is very serious problem!
*volume slider – I thought at first it was cool, but it is not implemented very well. It’s not too accurate, and there’s lack in response time. I much rather have physical buttons.
*slow hd! – It’s one of those special small size HD that is really slow (4200 rpm i think) It shows when i run multiple applications at the same time…
*palm rest – I heard some horror story that the metal coated palm rest peel off in several month of use. It hasn’t happened to me yet, but I am very very afraid this may happen one day especially with my sweaty palm.

Other then these issues, this is probably one of the best tablet out there.

Thanks James. I suspect you’re right.

Genghis, I have no inside info about the Motion that some have been hinting about. That also means I am not under NDA about it and from all I’ve heard I believe it will be slightly ruggedized, a variant of the medical C5 which I have played with, yet will be for a different vertical market. It will not be for consumers (style nor price) at all.

1.8″ PATA.

James, couldy you peak at the HD and tell us if its a 1.8″ or 2.5″ drive along with the interface type PATA, SATA etc…

Thanks,
