In Spring last year I did a lot of work with Frank to track down the cause of battery life problems on the Amtek T700s that were being sold through TabletKiosk. Through Franks work we were able to prove and highlight the issue which resulted in a call-back of the device.
This year (and it really seems like he’s put most of his 2007 spare time into this project) Frank has been working on identifying why HID drivers are so important for touchscreen devices, tracking down the reason why the Samsung Q1 doesn’t have the driver (most, possibly all, UMPCs that use egalax touchscreen parts connected via USB don’t have the HID driver) highlighting the problem to the part manufacturer, getting them to write the driver, testing it and finally, today, releasing the beta version for Vista.
That’s a huge amount of work you’ve done there Frank. I’m sure there are lots of people out there that are going to benefit. Well done and thanks. May the gods of free Samsung Q1s fill your cup!
Take a look at Franks notes and find the driver download on his blog.
