- The screen. For its size it's incredibly crisp! I actually enjoy reading news on this rather than on the laptop.
- The size. I can finally do what I've always wanted to do but just couldn't on my laptop --surf the web while lying in bed or on the couch. Did I mention that the display is so crisp? You have to see it to believe it.
- Wi-fi. It just works!
- Linux. xterm! vim! This little baby rocks! The app installers work flawlessly -so far.
- Battery life. This puts the Energizer bunnies to shame, this thing just keeps going and going.
- Stylus input. For some reason I feel less stressed surfing the web using the stylus input. I feel like I don't have to hurry or something.
- This baby looks slick & sexy. It's easy to use too.
Dislikes:
- It's kinda sluggish. But I'm getting used to it, this isn't a desktop machine after all.
- Memory is dismal. I've experienced a couple of 'out of memory' errors. On the other hand, the solution seems to be putting a swap file on the RS-mmc. It makes the apps load/run faster too.
- Can't scroll smoothly using the scroll buttons. It would really rock if the webpages or pdfs scroll smoothly (using the scroll buttons).
- Handwriting recognition. Teehee :-P
Fave apps:
- xterm
- vim
- opera
- calendar/to-do-list
All-in-all, I'm really impressed. It's solid and easy to use. Its shortcomings is more than compensated by its strengths. I'm so happy I got this.
