James, are you going to be loading Windows 7 on your Viliv now? the latest build 7100 (Release Candidate) is out.
now that youve purchased it, did you get the VGA cables & external battery charger (should be GREAT for keeping the extra battery charged)? any word on what resolution this device can support for external monitors?
i know Windows 7 is going to have multitouch built in, but i wonder if it will have kenetic scrolling built in at a system level? then you wouldnt need individual “add ons” like grab-n-drag & would be able to scroll through all programs (1 step closer to eliminating the stylus).
also, with all this talk of Windows 7 have you considered trying the latest Ubuntu? considering the high resolution on such a tiny screen i would be especially interested to see how well the Ubuntu Netbook Remix UI workes out.
