Looks like the hard disk is a stinker.

This seems to be a candidate for ReadyBoost, yes? Can you do ReadyBoost with an SD card? A big, high-performance one.

The Inquirer apparently had a bad time with the touchscreen in their review, I wondered whether stylus operation was optimal. It's what I always do - well, nearly alawys - with touch devices.

I also mention the FITALY third-party on-screen keyboard software at every opportunity, but you can't touch-type on it - well, I haven't really tried, it's not "for" that. Otherwise, Qwerty key layout is for losers. I do find Fitaly goes about half the speed of a real, full size keyboard, once error correcting is counted in text input time. But is that the comparison to make?
