The most asked question about the Everun so far is “keyboard keyboard keyboard. What’s the keyboard like?” The best way I know to answer that one is with a video but before the video, here are a few other items on my Everun notes sheet here.
- Built in light sensor. It works! It does a very good job of reducing and increasing the backlight level. Its also possible to offset the auto brightness by +/- 50% (or something that looks like 50%!)
- VGA output – works! I tried it on a 1024×768 monitor this afternoon.
- Lack of SD card slot is still annoying me
- Battery monitoring. As on the Vega, the battery does not supply information to Windows. To windows it looks like an external mains power supply. Raon provide an application which monitors battery and reports on level. More on that another time.
- The Q1 feels HUGE after playing with the Everun. My gadget bag also feels empty! More space in it for other crap now.
Keyboard. After 24 hours, here’s how I’m getting on with it…
