Crappiest sticky to remove and keep your EEEPC looking clean goes to Intel.

It left most of its glue behind, and required a ridiculous amount of scrubbing to remove even using Simple Green.

I've also found the Stylus located the the front bottom of the computer.  It slides out and has a springy action.  It also telescopes into itself presumably so you can be less embarrassed about having to use said stylus.

lol, sounds like it isnt performing to the hype?

i dont think i will be getting this. waiting for the always innovating touchbook.

Some good:

The build quality on this thing is fantastic.  The screen feels sturdier on its swivel than my Palm Pre does when it slides.  They definitely got this right.

The touchscreen has a good sensitivity.  I can draw an accurate smiley face and my signature looks better than any of those terribad credit card machines.

I've been using Touchgate for a few minutes and its not bad at all.  In fact, its pretty good.  But its built for a higher end video card it feels like, and the inability to customize it is something that I will dread.  Forcing me into IE isn't going to win my heart.

In all honesty, I'm tremendously impressed with this and will certainly be able to find a use for it.  It also puts to bed any reservations I will have about a multi-touch being a best seller. 

This has every feature I wanted on a Netbook since before the term Netbook was being used, but unfortunately all the blemishes of a first gen product.

does it run off 12v or 19v?

thx-

Id recommend doing a fresh install of a stripped down XP without all the drama apps.

Next time try some googone. Works like a champ

I'm getting more handy with this, but I definitely need the right click functionality to be faster in touchscreen.  Touchstylus (The keyboard) is ok, and will certainly serve its purpose.

Will Caltouch work to edit the speed of the right click? I mean use default driver and try this utility. http://rapidshare.com/files/174567408/C … 4.zip.html

Would any T91 user on here be willing to extract their "Touchgate" software and upload it, There may be an installer exe on the recovery dvd.

Many thanks, Joe

Hey all,

There isn't any place on the forums for the T91, so I am going to post this in general.

I'm going to use this thread to post about my experience with the T91, in case you are interested.

If you aren't, then there are thousands of other threads here to interest you.

The general idea is to use this as a pilot unit for two reasons:  Datalogging in my car and the possibility of mobile kiosks for our retail showroom employees.  I'll also probably try using it as a bookreader compared against my Kindle2.


---------------------

I ordered this from BuyDig.  I've never placed an order with them, and was a bit freaked out when they pulled the T91 off the website.  After calling, they assured me that the order would ship the next day, and it did.  I hate waiting, so I got it overnight.

It came in as planned.

The packaging was a bit weird to me.  It had a tamper-proof seal, but the computer itself was simply packaged in its case, no bag surrounding it.  This must be Asus' way of being green.  How quaint.

The glossy case smudges easily.  No surprise there.

Ugh....Energy Saver, Intel, Windows Stickers aplenty.  Off they go!  Looks like I'll need some cleaner to get the sticky off though.  awesome.

Bootup is pretty standard.  This is replacing my 701 so the feel of boot, etc. is the same.

15 second cold boot on IE from Desktop.

Ever so slight give in the keyboard on typing in the middle.

Windows still doesn't get Netbooks.  Standard IE has a bar for Addresses, Menu, Windows Live, and Tabs by default.  30% of the screen is just gone.

Speaking of more bloat, Desktop starts with 13 icons and 14 Menu Icons.

Screen Resolution has an option for 1024x768.  Its terrible looking.  I'm gonna have to try the Util and see if it'll work later (before trying Windows 7).

Hey look I can install Chrome!  Cold Boots are about the same, but it comes up the second time much faster.  Tab Bar and Address Bar only too....Maybe Ballmer can take notes when he receives his beta copy of the Chrome OS, hmm?

Five Minutes and TweakUI later, I have a recycle bin, one icon visible in my tray, and a Netbook worth using now.

Next:  Usage.  I'll keep you all posted.

It boots in 15 seconds?  Must have a super duper fast SSD.

15 seconds: that actually meant from the desktop, it took ie 15 seconds to load. chrome and ff are much faster.

kiosk: we're hoping to use the eeetops mounted to the walls as customer kiosks and the t91s as shareable handhelds wielded by our salespeople.

im also going to scour the planet looking for some sort of barcode scanner to mate to the unit. if anyone has any  ideas, please share :-)

multitoucch: yup, no mt on t91 which kills it long term for windows 7. I just had to get the t91 to pilot the project and see how touchscreens work for our projects.

that'd be great dom!

I tried the caltouch software and it does not recognize the ideacom touchscreen drivers. 

I'm focusing right now on the config file for the driver.  I need to figure out how to minimize drift and increasing "right click" speed:

[TSCSETTINGS]
SelectiveSuspend = 0
VistaSelectiveSuspendEnable = 0
DoubleClickArea = 78
LinearCalibration = 0
MouseStabilityRange =5
MouseWeightLV =1
MouseNoMoveRange = 60
RbtnHolding_Index_St1 = 50
RbtnHolding_Index_St2 = 125
AvoidWrongTouchType = 0
CaValidRange = 200
CaValidPointX00 = 300
CaValidPointX01 = 2050
CaValidPointX02 = 3810
CaValidPointX03 = 300
CaValidPointX04 = 2050
CaValidPointX05 = 3810
CaValidPointX06 = 300
CaValidPointX07 = 2050
CaValidPointX08 = 3810
CaValidPointX09 = 0
CaValidPointY00 = 350
CaValidPointY01 = 350
CaValidPointY02 = 350
CaValidPointY03 = 2050
CaValidPointY04 = 2050
CaValidPointY05 = 2050
CaValidPointY06 = 3780
CaValidPointY07 = 3780
CaValidPointY08 = 3780
CaValidPointY09 = 0

Mmm... quick experiment: what happens when you put two of your fingers on the screen? Does the cursor jump to a point in between your finger taps, or does it stay with only one finger? If it stays on one finger then does it snap to the other one when you remove the finger that it's staying at?

The cursor jumps to a center point, then fluctuates in distance between the two as if it were trying to decide which input had priority.

If I apply more pressure to one finger over another, the cursor begins to lean that way.

What does this tell you?

As for the barcode software, we have all the products in our showroom already barcoded, its just finding something that passes the scanned Code 39 (I think) to our ERP system when we implement it.

Barcode scanners just pass the decoded code as keyboard input, so having a program to read them would make it somewhat useless in our environment, but all options are still of interest.
