Some like it BLACK


It's been so busy but I thought I'd take the opportunity to share a photo. Not only did the Black eo V7110 outsell the White 60/40 but they also had extra delays on their delivery dates. Finally Australia has seen three shipments of the black ones go out and this time I ripped one out of a box (before I got my hand smacked) and took a quick photo.



They're sexier, but, as we all know they get covered in finger prints. Oh well, I guess the FBI will never have a problem dusting them for prints!!!

  1. It is quite nice in black! But the white one looks quite smart from my point of view I would doubt what to choose.

    Thanks for the pics :)

  2. Hola Gabriel,

    Yes the black is nice but I tend to agree, the white is better. I bought, and paid for out of my own pocket, the white one. I had to put my money where my mouth is. My reason was that I couldn't be bothered cleaning the finger prints all the time! lol

    Gracias por la visita Amigo!

    Hugo, have you 'played' with one of the new eo's yet?

  4. I haven't "played" or "worked" with the new eo yet. I can already see obvious advantages in that there is an integrated stand and an onboard camera. What I don't know however is the heat, screen brilliance, battery lilfe or touchscreen sensitivity.

    Expect a video soon.

  5. Just an off-topic comment. Have you ever tried a TFT with touch capability?
    I will be purchasing a new screen for my desktop computer in a month time and I am wondering about one touchscreen.

    I usually complain about having to grab a pen and a notebook to draw diagrams and stuff because I always forget where I drew. It would be really useful to draw in the screen directly.

    What do you think?

  6. Hola Gabriel,

    I can highly recommend a touchscreen for your desktop. The funny thing about this solution is that you'll struggle to ever use a normal (non-touch) monitor ever again. The first thing I do after using one of my touchscreens for a few days in a row is shove my index finger straight onto the next monitor I sit in front of, and it's not always a "touchscreen", ouch!

    Highly recommended! It's aesthetically pleasing and far more instinctual than the third-person action like that of using a mouse. Let me know how you go. *Thumbs up from me*

  8. Hola Gabriel,

    I think the touchscreen monitors will vary dramatically from country to country so I'll try not to recommend anything for you. What I will say is look for something with a real lightweight sensitivity, i.e. 70gramms to register an X/Y coordinate. Because you won't be leaning on it to write you'll find that the best experience will come from a really sensitive touchscreen.

    It's important to note that this recommendation only strestches out to the desktop monitor as on a UMPC or laptop you would like to have the most resistive (or heavier weighted touchscreen), otherwise you'll always trigger a false reading as you lean. Since you won't be leaning look for something bright, big and sensitive!

    Suerte!
