Dennis Rice of GottabeMobile just got a new Tablet Kiosk i7210 Ultra Mobile PC and has posted a brief video.
I haven’t been able to watch the video yet as I’m on a 56kbps modem here but i’m sure its worth watching as they do some good videos at Gottabemobile.
The i7210 is the second Pentium-M based ultra mobile PC to be available in the U.S. (last week a Pentium-M based Q1 appeared.) and should provide good performance advantages over Celeron based UMPCs. I’m also expecting to see some battery life improvement for low-useage scenarios as the Pentium-M has speed stepping enabled.
The previous review I saw about this device (under the Founder brand) had a few things to say about low-quality materials, heat and noise so I’m interested to see what Dennis says about that. I also want to know how good that Synaptics mouse pointer is. The one on the v7110 is very good but the i7210 has a disc shaped pointer. I hope it’s as easy to use.
Other questions for Dennis are:
How’s the sound quality on the loudspeaker?
Is there a mic array or just a single mic?
How is the 80gm screen? (Any problems with resting your palm on the screen?)
I’ll be getting my i7210 next week and also plan some videos and in-depth reviews so it will be nice to compare notes.
Regards
Steve / Chippy.
