Darryl Burling has gone through the manual of the TabletKiosk eo and has come up with the list of things…
Good
- The EO includes a stand and according to page 21 (marked as page 11) the stylus can also serve as a stand.
- The EO also includes headphones.
- Docking port on bottom
- As well as navigating with your finger or stylus, you also have the choice of a D-Pad (right side of the device) or a pointing stick (left side of the device) - even left handed people should be able to work with it easily.
- Hardware WiFi switch
- The ability to remap buttons is included natively
- 850grams… not too heavy for a first gen device.
Bad
- The stylus is on the bottom of the device, meaning it will be hard to extract if the device is docked.
- 2.2 hours @ 26W/h - not a long battery life under “typical” condition.
- A single SODIMM slot limits memory to 1Gb and forces you to toss out what you get with the device
Ugly
- The warning on page 20 (marked page 10) to not press on the back of the device.
- No VGA output - IMHO this is a really bad omission. You HAVE to get a docking station to use an external screen (assuming they will be available and will have a VGA output).
Miscellaneous notes
The image on page 14 (marked page 4) indicates that the device has a single front speaker. Thus, no stereo sound, however the text on page 55(45) would indicate otherwise.
