I just got an OQO review unit and I am pretty impressed with it so far. This weekend I plan on putting the Tablet PC 2005 OS on it. I have been wondering if it is possible to add the XP superset 'Inking' capabilities to the unit without doing a fresh install, I remember seeing some i386 sub directories on Windows XP for both Tablet and Media Center and was wondering if there is an MSI or install for adding inking without blowing the base OS. The reason being is that the XP OS on the unit is customized to the hardware in the unit and I want to keep some of the software that allows access to the scrollwheel, like OQO Manager, which I may be able be installed seperately. OQO manager allows for controlling scrollwheel that has many functions like volume,scroll up and scroll down that is switched with single press and a double press allows you to scroll through open applications and perform a quick launch. This something I would love to have on the Tablet PC or Pocket PC, once you use it just makes perfect sense. OQO did a great job with this.
'Playing' with this unit makes want to see more hardware manufacturers take advantage adding function/productivity.
So far cool things are the function keys that allow quick mute, turn wifi on/off, adjusting brightness, quick standby, hibernate,shutdown (you can do most of this on most XP computers) etc. Found a cool key combo that enables an accelerometer that moves the mouse cursor on the screen at different speeds.
Some of the 'bad' things: no internal speaker, lack of stylus sensitivity at the screens borders (heard it improves with the Tablet OS due to the Tablet XP stylus calibration utility also the screen is a bit squishy- you can see the LCD moving around with stylus contact, they should have used a small piece of plastic or glass to prevent this.
Hopefully I will have more time to play with it today...work always getting in the way...:)
