I have yet to see any UMPC demo anywhere near where I live so any product made visable is good for the platform. Showing my 02 to people gets mixed reactions because of the size and that is good, because once they see the 7" products they'll say now that is a lot better;)<BR/><BR/>Also the 02 has the same native resolution as a Q1 but with more precise inking & texturing so it is doable for us micro artists. BTW like your UMPC art, thanks for sharing on origami.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21177126.post-34582160590417708912007-06-14T01:22:00.000+10:002007-06-14T01:22:00.000+10:00Another problem I have with the OQO, is the screen...Another problem I have with the OQO, is the screen size. Personally I cannot use it, period. End of discussion there. There is no reasonable way to create art on an OQO. This is just me though, and honestly how many artists are buying these?<BR/><BR/>The main point is this, I show off my Q1 like it's going out of style. At 800x600 I hear a lot of people saying they cant make out the text. When I show them the 800x480 view, most of the time they agree that it's perfect for casual computing and that 800x600 is tolerable for internet usage. <BR/><BR/>I'm fairly glad the OQO is not available in stores, as people would probably buy them on impulse because it is, after all, a very amazing looking device. <BR/><BR/>However with the screen being as small as it is and the amount of work arounds on the OQO, there would be a lot of returns I believe And more importantly, it would likely give a negative impression of UMPCs and possibly all tablet computers in general. <BR/><BR/>For me I honestly think the Q1 is the best solution, and I have no intention of moving up to a Q1 ultra, not even if someone offered a swap for my Q1. It just looks, functions, and suits me perfectly.Netshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07417161225598641686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21177126.post-50420417844824717172007-06-14T00:18:00.000+10:002007-06-14T00:18:00.000+10:00ah, for the record, for me it's a honor to know yo...ah, for the record, for me it's a honor to know you at least by reading your blog and you reading mine. We can have different thoughts about different topics but that does not make us enemies.

Is it time consuming or difficult to do so? If not, it seems that in situations where you are going to be standing or such, you could easily remove the organizer pack and enjoy the on screen keyboard/dial keys/TIP, and in those 30% times when you need it, you'll have it available. I mean you don't have to have the keyboard kit on the Q1 to type out your fast and/or short emails. <BR/><BR/>I use my Q1 stand alone with NO attachments and feel absolutely no sacrifice in speed. It took only a week or so of using only the available methods before I caught up in speed to typing. Plus when I write and move icons and such by hand rather than a mouse and keyboard, my information retention about those items is much higher. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I just use mine very differently than others. I have my computer very customized and I function just fine without a keyboard. Although I do miss it at times on long pieces of text such as this. But what I do is just write my response in Windows Journal and use the Copy as Text function. This may seem like an extra step, but I always have Windows Journal up as it's one of my favorite tools on the UMPC.Netshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07417161225598641686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21177126.post-21502769379556799052007-06-13T01:17:00.000+10:002007-06-13T01:17:00.000+10:00Hi Hugo.

It was when you said 'on a 5" device, pen is barely useable' that I thought you where saying that, pen is barely useable!! It really sounds like you chose the OQO for the keyboard and not for the pen input features.<BR/><BR/>Ref Keyboard. Look at what I said. I said the keyboard is not cramped. I said the organiser pack is not for using in mobile situations. We agree yeah that the keyboard is not cramped? The organiser pack, on the other hand, is awkward to use on some situations.<BR/><BR/>Ref number input: Fair enough. You do a lot of numbers!<BR/><BR/>OK mate. Great having a bit of blog banter with you. These conversations hopefuly help us all!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324321541433839766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21177126.post-10601902386601113192007-06-13T00:31:00.000+10:002007-06-13T00:31:00.000+10:00Great post Hugo!

I think we need more dialogues like this within the mobile space. <BR/><BR/>Personally my Q1B saved me from being without a mobile connection for most of the Future of Online Advertising conference in NYC this past week. Also the Organizer Pack was great! but... When trying to sit it up on my lap and type it was hard to get the darn thing at a comfortable angle. Walking off to the side and setting it up at a table fixed that issue though.<BR/><BR/>The mobility/UMPC space seems to be changing so rapidly right now that we need these dialogues to help solve issues and questions of what works and what doesn't. And how these devices which we are seeing come out are helping us become more mobile.propstmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734244388866435676noreply@blogger.com
