I read some threads, that people are SSH from the PC to the iT for various reasons, but NOBODY mentioned about the stunning resolution of the iT when viewed on a PC LCD. Today I installed X11VNC on the 770 and accessed the tablet via tightVNC, http://beans.seartipy.com/2007/09/21...ter-using-vnc/, on my laptop with a 19" LCD screen, I was mesmerize by the stunning resolution of the tablet. It is crispy clear and absolutely not pixelet even when blowed up like 3X of the size of the tablet itself, not like a wince model. I think the wince is 320X200 and the tablet is 800X480.

I then connected the PC to a projector and blow the screen up to 12 X 8 ft, yes, feet not inches, and the resolution remained crispy clear, not pixelated. And in fact, I cant even tell the 770 image apart from the native PC screen which is at a resolution 1280 x 800. Wow! What did you say? What is the point...................? I am proud of my 770, got it? You got to see it to appreciate what I mean by mesmerizing!

Well, this is perfect for a group conference in front of an auditorium audience. Instead of each one of us bring our laptops and ask the AV guy to hook it to the only projector, one at a time, we now can have the flexibility of the following:

only one laptop housed in the conference room that hooked to the projector, conference attendees can just walk in with their tablets, you got it right, dont have to carry that huggabie laptop, and VNC to the PC when projected image is needed for the presentation. For those low resolution toys, eekphone of resolution 320 X 200, they will need instant transcoding in order to bring to this level of resolution. Still dont get it? go watch a 320 x 200 movie on a full screen PC of say 1024 x 768. Now I start to understand why some of us want TV out for the tablet, as the tablet image is not those ugly 320 X 200 we use to see from other device. Tablet rules!

Some fringe benefit, you got a keyboard and a mousepad to use when VNC from your PC to the tablet. Comments? Suggestions? Complaints?

Projector from acer PH530 with native resolution of 1280 X 800.

Very Nice. Pics or it didn't happen


I unfortunately do not have a projector, but I remember doing the opposite thing. I'd be in bed, VNC to my PC from my tablet, and browse around on my PC (using my tablet of course), watch movies, I even tried playing Republic Commando! My computer's resolution is 2048x1536, which means I would scroll around on my tiny screen, but it was still plenty usable! Playing Republic Commando was a bit harder though with using a touch screen, but was still doable if you had patience

Ahhh.... the things I did with my precious tablet on our honeymoon

Currently looking forward to overclocking her

Oh well, VNC takes up the whole PC, so one tableteer at a time for a public presentation with PC and a projector in an auditorium audience, say several tableteers one at a time. Well, if two or more tableteers need the projector at the same time, say comparing two models or two curves, SSH would allow more than one user and the projector can accomodate more than one user simultaneously on the the same screen. Just a thought
