kuhla Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Tablets ahoy. There is some smartphone unveiling too but I haven't posted any of those fyi. === Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 1 http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microso...ial-download-n/ 2 http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/microso...computex-hosts/ Microsoft certainly made a bit of splash at Computex with the introduction of Windows Embedded Compact 7, but it's not necessarily the easiest thing to wrap your head around right off the bat (or say three times fast). Thankfully, Microsoft has now come through with a site that explains the new OS in detail (complete with videos), and a trial download that will let you get a sneak peek at it yourself. The short of it is that the OS is aimed at devices that don't need or aren't well suited to the full-fledged Windows 7 (or Windows Phone 7, for that matter) -- like the Eee Pad pictured above -- which, incidentally, seems to address one of the major concerns from folks like NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang. That added simplicity also means that the OS won't run regular Windows applications -- it is a successor to Windows CE, after all -- but Microsoft does at least promise a "streamlined developer experience." That's not to say the OS isn't capable in its own right, though -- it boasts a full-range of media playback capabilities (including MPEG-4 and HD video), built-in support for Silverlight for Windows Embedded and Flash 10.1, a customized version of Internet Explorer with full multitouch, support for Open GL ES 2.0, support for the latest ARM v7 architectures and, of course, "seamless" integration with Windows 7, to name just a few highlights. Still hungry for more details? Then hit up the source link for the complete rundown and Microsoft's videos, and for all the information you need to download the preview release.

kuhla Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 === Asus Eee Pad source - http://www.anandtech.com/show/3755/more-asus-eee-pad-details Ok so the Asus Eee Pad apparently runs Windows 7 Home Premium NOT Windows Embedded Compact 7. Good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Finally! Something non tablet. === SilverStone FT03 mATX case. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=253179 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaphax Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Ok... so as much as I am not a huge fan of the new motherboard positioning by silverstone. That's a pretty sweet case. I would use that thing without any shame. My only question would be, if you can mount everything in that case, why not just change how it lays. For example look at their sugo cases and most other matx cases, they have a relatively normal or even larger footprint, but they lay much lower to the ground. If you put that case on it's "face" you would effectively achieve the same thing, with your connectors in the back. Oh well I guess this is a matter of preference and small footprint.

kuhla Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Ok, confusion was my own fault. This engadget post has cleared things up for me. source - http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/asus-ep...h-less-ecstasy/ Eee Pad EP101TC = 10" screen + NVIDIA Tegra 2 + Windows Embedded Compact 7 Eee Pad EP121 = 12" screen + Intel + Windows 7 EPad = 10" screen + unknown cpu + Windows 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Either EPad 10" or Eee Pad EP121 for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 A good shot from the Asus brochure apprently... source - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showth...3011&page=6 Also a lot of other pictures at that source too. If the Eee Tablet is cheap (the B&W one), then maybe I'll consider it as a note taker since it seems to have what I would need for basic note needs.

I know this sounds silly but one thing that pops into my head when I look at it is servers (see picture below) which is a good thing (imho) but yeah, it's still The Trashcan.
