I used so much flash on that site, it was a nightmare coding everything.

Hey pvp, one question before I order.  How do the original supporters go about getting the free shipping?
I was also wondering if there are holes for the screws or if they will just screw right into the faceplate...

good eye i can't seem to see any screw holes either, another question i have is how is the lcd cable going to reach the motherboard if the controller is in the bottom corner while the connector is closer to the top

EDIT: after actually measuring the cable it might just stretch its way there

i have received the email from you. However, I do not recall seeing anything about how to receive the free shipping.

Sweet - this mod could actually be a reason for me to acquire a 701 besides the 901 that I have.

Unless you're planning an Aeeeris 901 ?

It sure looks good

However not anything i would do before there's a slide out keyborad to it

Edit: Oh boy i get sooo angry with the pic that keeps shifting on your site - damn i allready hate it ^^

Would you like me to slow down the pictures on there? If enough people say it's going too fast, i could also put a little bit more of a delay.

EDIT: I'm going to make a new tab to include a software download for the new Linux MID edition. Does anyone here know the site to download it? And also has anyone done any research on the onscreen keyboard addon (linux)?

Well i would preperf it not to change the pic at all - it removed focus from the text that im trying to read, and are just plain annoying

Instead of linux... how about Windows?
Just use a front end that's more "touch" friendly....
I am researching CarPC and I think something like DashPC or RoadRunner would make a neat little front for the 701....

Now you better be making a 1000 edition soon!

Oh yeah, the flash on the site is great btw... But the installation pictures are too fast...

I also support for a 1000H edition! Hope to see it soon.

I want one for my 900, but attach the hinge at the top of the existing screen, so I can have it all folded up to use as a tablet, or open the stock screen alone, or fold it all open and have 2 screens - one above the other. maybe not the most practical, but cool none the less. It'd be even cooler if the second screen were removable.

why not just extend the hinge to wrap it under and flip for tablet mode if you're going to do all that.

excelent work PvP... i was worried as to how it would look. you really hit one out of the park with that unit

then you couldn,t open it and use only one screen, and it would block the cooling vents

First and foremost, lose the music and sound effects. You're trying to attract businesses - remember back in the nineties when every other page had a looped midi in the background?

You also have to go easier on the flash. It looks nice; a lot of it looks wonderful. The site menu flash is great, for instance, and most of the picture flash (like on the installation page) looks wonderful. The tile-scrolling pictures like on the home page, though, those are annoying. They don't just scroll too fast; the tile transition looks like a windows slideshow effect. It wouldn't be so bad if the images were manually scrolled through. I say slap a couple buttons on there (if not a filmstrip), implement a simpler and more professional-looking transition and let the users examine the pictures as quickly or slowly as they want.

edit: What you've got on your "History of Aeeeris Tablet" page is exactly what I'm talking about.

Speaking of which, many of the pictures you have desperately need to be retaken. Crisp, high-resolution images which could be manually scrolled through and zoomed into would be ideal, and it would make your website and your product much more pleasant to consider.

You've also got your fair share of bad copy: "Smaller businesses do not have the extra money to buy these even though they do produce higher productivities. "

I could make a big list of suggestions, if you'd like. I'm no professional, but I am a graphic design major, so at least I can pretend that I am. To be honest, I'm very interested in what you're doing here. I would certainly like to see one of these puppies on my Eee, with some minor modifications.

As one of the people who was disappointed by the way you presented the product and kept us "updated", I would like to say congrats on finishing it.

It doesn't look like something I will be buying as I can't live with just using the touchscreen for input, but it seems like it is perfect for some people.  Ideally of course I'd prefer a tablet configuration for myself, but I realize the difficulties in that.

One thing on the website that hasn't been covered yet, as I agree with the suggestions so far, is the format doesn't display properly on a 701 screen, which is ironic if that is who your audience is.  There is no side to side scrollbar and the right side of the text is clipped.  Other than the fact that I hate Flash and music on sites you did a good job for being under the gun.  Definitely have someone write the copy who uses English as their first language, it will go a long way in adding credibility to the site/product.  Hi-res pix too, there are jaggies in the current pix.

Good luck.

glad to see it released, i will be ordering it in a month or so.
