SubscribeStormtrooper is mine
Well, I went ahead and bought a Fujitsu U810 UMPC from newegg.com. It arrived yesterday I’m just about done installing apps on it. Since I just installed Live Writer, I figure I should write my first blog post from it.
I will try to piece up some kind of review and express my reasons for choosing this device.
For now.. something strange happened. The touchscreen sensitivity has turned super light. It’s weird. When I first booted up, I swore the screen was medium to heavy touch since it took a good amount of pressure to register a click. Now, the screen is so sensitive, I can draw with the fat of my fingers. Vectoring is a given. It’s a lot more sensitive than even my Samsung Q1. While it does make navigating the screen a lot easier — for inking, it’s almost impossible. I really don’t know what happened. I may install XP anyway so we’ll see if the issues remain.
Phew.. it’s going to take some time getting used to this keyboard. With a bit of practice, I can 6 finger touch type very fast with this. Definitely much faster than thumbing it. After writing this post, my fingers are feeling a bit cramped though.

Congratulations!
Strange to hear about the light touch though.
Do the missing keys (e.g. tab) annoy you?

Thanks Ya using the function space to get to the tab makes you pause for a sec but I’m getting used to it. I tried remapping the arrow keys but switched it back since it screws up the keymap when you plug in an external keyboard.
It’s a fast keyboard for IM’ing if you don’t care about punctuation.
It’s handy for emails, passwords, shortcuts, copy/cut/paste, , etc. A bit rough on your hands for an extended time.
gonna try this?

That looks like a lot of work. I may wait to see how the new mac mini’s end up
