Thats where Android and iPad come in. Touchscreen keyboards are phenomenal on those.

It really is a neat little device, although I dislike the touch-screen keyboard intensely. I suffer from stupidfingers, and I fail miserably with the touch screen. Regarding the pins - for a 'normal' user, they are probably just fine. I agree that they are not flimsy in the least. However, I have Dr.'s and NP's who use a 'standard' tablet PC right now (no moving parts) to fill in forms while doing house calls, and the things they've managed to do to those poor devices should be outlawed by the Geneva Convention. They toss them around like they are paper tablets. I can see a great deal of trouble when/if we introduce the swivel screen.

It is not at all sluggish, but I do admit that I use it for things that a netbook it intended, I am certain it would be terrible for extra-large spreadsheets or trying to run database instances. For the average executive level person it is more than enough computer, much more powerful than my Evo or any Android (or other manufacturer) -based tablet.

Convertible between laptop and tablet. And even less than the price of the Xoom.

Ive heard the Dell Duo is a bit sluggish, although it seems to have the functionality that you want ( even though a dual core Atom 550 and 2gb RAM, no match for an i5 and 4gb RAM ). For just a bit more, the Lenovo ThinkPad X220T can run the i7, and has decent reviews too. Even more powerful, while even less portable Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !

Full Windows 7 is what I'm looking for. It will also function as a regular desktop.

From: Tom Miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 22, 2011 12:01 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Touch screen tablets Folks, I'm in the market for a touch screen laptop tablet. We want to test e-signatures using the touch screen instead of an add-on USB signature card. Any suggestions? I see several vendors have these. Since this is just testing, nothing high-end is needed.
