Dusty Chalk Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Especially with the up/down/left/right motion -- that's definitely correct either way. EDIT: Oh, look, there's 1-finger flicks, and 2-finger flicks, as well. I wonder if there are entire-hand flicks, or do you think that would require a larger interface?

penger Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 The videos that were just posted on the engadget link look pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPH Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 i'll believe it when i see it. i also doubt that the book design is actually that good of an idea in practice. This. Also, I'm not too sure about the "funky" UI. Still, it's great to see Microsoft innovate for once and I could certainly find some use for a tablet-like device that incorporates seamless handwriting recognition.

riceboy Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Saw this in the morning. I agree it does look cool. I would be interested to see the finished product, but as it looks I am interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeggy Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 That looks about 5 trillion times more useful than the ipad to me. If the price isn't too unreasonable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessingx Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I would be interested to see the finished product, but as it looks I am interested.Didn't Ballmer say a few months ago he had never seen these 'proof of concept' videos?

morphsci Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 meh. Book form factor = fail. Windows CE OS = fail. MS handwriting recognition = fail. No serious dedicated applications = mega Fail. And I am primarily a Windows OS user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very "Microsoft". Also WM7 certainly doesn't fit the mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep my Touch thankyou. WM7 is a better interface, but not for a tablet/pad. I have it installed on my ASUS touchscreen and it is faster than Vista, but that is the only improvement I have noticed as far as useability.
