This is an interesting device! I was thinking to get an Microsoft Surface Pro3 or this large 13.1" Sony ebook reader. But both are much more expensive devices. Do you plan to operate it under linux? If so, are you aware of a touch / touch-pen friendly window manager. To be honest, I saw Windows 8 on the surface pro2 and from the few minutes I spend with it, I had the impression that it was very well designed for tablet usage. Nice softkeyboard, wide buttons for big fingers and a lot of little tools which make use of the digitizer and touch-based interaction. I looked around but found nothing similar under Linux. There are some tools and some programs, but nothing well integrated in a overall window manager. The other question I have, is the screen size right? To correct a A4 based paper I would looking for a bigger screen. Basically, my annotations should have a similar size compared to the written text. Is this possible on a 8 inch screen without loosing track of the entire page layout due to constantly zooming in and out or panning around like crazy? I would think this device is a nice compromise between price and mobility on one side and usage as a lecturer tool on the other side. Just would like to now if it still can be used as a lecturer tool. Would be glad if you could share you experience with the device. Thanks for posting this. Torsten CC. The device is about 311 Euro in Germany... I will never understand this price difference between Europe and US prices. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.
