TEGA v2
Parade expect Windows 7 tablet has begun, as TEGA v2 began shipping last year. I took one and used it for several months and it's time to give it a few pixels. Sharp eyes TEGA v2 readers may think it seems that just released the ViewSonic ViewPad 10, and you're right. MDGs, yet both TEGA v2 for Tegatech Australia and Viewsonic ViewPad, which are the same, to dual-boot environment with Android.
TEGA v2 is an excellent list, with a 10.1-inch screen at 1024 × 600. It is heavier than the Motorola Xoom, but almost the same size. It's essentially a netbook in the form of leaves, with Intel Atom Processor, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB SSD to accelerate the process. Capacitive multi-touch digitizer works as well as any smartphone and a webcam is very useful for video conferencing.
Technical characteristics of the device such as a review:
Processor: Intel Atom N455, clocked at 1.6 GHz (single heart)
Memory: 2 GB
Storage: 32 GB SSD
Display: 10.1 inch, wide viewing angle, 1024 x 600
OS: Windows 7 Pro
Slots / Ports: 2 USB, mini-VGA, micro-, audio-SIM (3G)
Battery: built-in, 3500 mAh, 3.5 to 4 hours of battery life in the real world
Communications: Wi-Fi b / g, Bluetooth, 3G (GSM)
Webcam: 1.3 MP
Dimensions: 10.8 x 6.7 x 0.63 inches, 1.9 pounds.
The construction of the TEGA v2 is first class, from the black plastic cover on the front of the platform at the rear of the aluminum. It feels very solid in the hand, if a little heavy for extended use. The accelerometer is used to automatically rotate the screen in the desired direction, and that this feature is built into the BIOS, it works very well with only a slight delay in the process.
Three buttons on the right side of the screen (normal horizontal orientation) are similar to those of Android phones. They (high-low) power, and back home. Start button is a nice feature that is useful for home shelves success of Windows, instantly minimizes all open windows and displays the desktop. That's why the switch of a second attack instantly brings back all the windows. Re-enable WiFi in and out of what must be careful not to hit by accident. The power button works as it does on any system, Windows, and can be configured in the Power Management to bring sleeping pill.
In Windows
TEGA v2 is a full Windows system, and works as expected. The sensitivity of the touch screen to use with fingers, and Windows 7 runs with a touch more than you think. Some controls are too small to play with one finger, but most of them can adjust its size to do the job better. In general, I find it easier to use Windows on the TEGA v2 I thought it would. The performance of Windows, the pill, due to the fast SSD.
The problem with this tablet, such as Windows Touch Panels, soon realized, to run the program. As my colleague Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet likes to point out, Windows 7, you can identify but not touch the bulb. This is evident when the execution of programs, any Windows program can be used on the tablet, but few of them are written to handle the right touch operation. Most Windows programs are not compatible with every touch, and can be difficult to work without a mouse and a keyboard. This should be considered in future versions of Windows, designed for touch. It's not just the operating system must be in writing to the touch, the application must be optimized. This is not unique to the TEGA v2, which is the same for each of the touch screen with Windows 7.
The advantage of the tablet on Windows platforms, different work capacity to run Windows programs. TEGA v2 can handle any of them easily, except for intensive programs. Can also be used with external keyboard and mouse, if necessary, in fact, becomes an ultra-portable netbook. In situations where the race for Windows software is required, and TEGA v2 is the perfect fit.
Android operation
TEGA v2 (and ViewSonic ViewPad) dual boots Android 1.6. Tegatech working on a version 2.2 (Froyo), but they have worked on this for a while, and is not released yet. This is an older version of Android can not run some of the latest applications for Android and more applications are not compatible with 10-inch widescreen very well. In the Android Market is not available and therefore more new Android tablet that something useful.
After Froyo released that will change as Android can be used for quick sessions without launching Windows. Should be better for battery life, too. I'll give it a try when updates are released, but before I started in Android.
TEGA v2 is Intel, so the open source version of Android for the x86 platform is being used. This can affect the speed of Froyo in TEGA v2.
Conclusion
TEGA v2 is a solid tablet is well made and very functional. Windows 7 works very well and the touchscreen and other controls are well. Tablets, such as Windows, TEGA v2 designed for businesses, especially those with Windows proprietary software, which can benefit from a slate form factor. If you start Windows, the program is not what
