Tokash Hands-On Experience
Written by Bjorn Stromberg

John Tokash was at the Maker's Faire and got his hands on a TabletKiosk eo, a Founder MiniNote, and a Samsung Q1 for a cursory review.


Here's some of his responses:

  • All 3 devices seemed responsive and not sluggish at all during my interactions.
  • The Touch Pack program launcher is very pleasant.
  • DialKeys will take some getting used to, but I think it will be only slightly less usable than the treo keyboard.
  • Attendees seemed a little skeptical, but impressed.
  • The Founder UMPC is really thin compared to the Samsung and eo.
  • I agree with JK when he says that you can rest your hand on the screen without it interfering with your writing. That's nice!
  • The screen zooming is faster than I expected and much more readable than I expected, although several control panels (touch optimizations, system) become blank grey windows at the scaled 1024 resolution.
  • Browsing the web with the UMPC form factor was great.
  • I like the touch point mouse embedded in the eo. I'm guessing that some old DirectX full screen games won't respond well to the touch screen, so an external mouse or a touch point is going to be useful in those cases. The Samsung doesn't have a similar feature.
