Finally, I purchased a tablet PC! It is a gateway and I love it so far. Sadly, firefox does not come with tablet PC support natively. However, the great GeckoTIP extension brings tablet functionality to it and other Mozilla tools.
Yes, this post has been prepared using only the stylus - no keyboard used. I guess it will help me even more, esp. since I can write faster than I can type, and somehow this thing has amazing handwriting recognition skills!
Looking forward to a tabletized future...

P.S. A HUGE thanks to H for pointing one to this deal, as well as driving with me to make the purchase.

Congratulations for that machine .. it's indeed a cutie ..
ReplyDeleteOh man... good luck getting customer support with Gateways!
ReplyDeleteHey I know handwriting recognition feels really good... Glad that you made the switch! :)
ReplyDeleteBtw, I agree with Anon: Keep your fingers crossed so that you never have to deal with Gateway Customer Support. [Gateway is said to compete with the likes of Lenovo in terms of how many hours (or days? :o) can they put the customer on hold! :D]
Yeah.. I have heard some scary stories too -- but so far I had to call them once [for change of ownership] and got acceptable wait time. Also helped that I was reading on my other laptop while I was on hold :-).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new acquisition....Gateway support is decent...but I would suggest going for their annual service membership plan once the warranty runs out.....coz they aren't very helpful with phone support on a lot of issues.
ReplyDelete-Neha.
Can we see how it looks? A photograph wud be great.
ReplyDelete@Varun: To see how it looks, follow the gateway link in the blog post.
