jkOnTheRun Audio Edition #26: Hands on with the FlyBook V33i

Watch jkOnTheRun Audio Edition #26 here (WMV format, 640 x 480, 216 MB, 39:00 minutes)

For our QVGA little-friends, we have a 320 x 240 format right here (WMV format, 320 x 240, 95 MB).

After spending two weeks with the Dialogue FlyBook V33i on loan from iCube, we figured it as time to share the experience with a video review. Topics we cover:

• Complete walk around of the device
• The excellent case
• Using the integrated WWAN capabilities for phone calls and Internet
• Comparing a native 1024 x 600 screen to a non-native screen, i.e.: the Q1
• FlyBook Control Center
• Keyboard usage and thoughts
• Mouse / joystick controls
• Alternatives to the Tablet PC OS and applications
• Touchscreen vectoring demonstration; how well does the V33i deal with palm rejection?
• Overall specs and final thoughts
• Stay tuned after the credits for a special "short feature".

Hi Kevin! What a nice video-review and what a nice gadget. I think that the Flybook miss some buttons on the front to use it like a tablet.

Great review, but i personaly think the price of this device is way over it's worth you are looking at £2'000 plus here in the UK, My MacBook Pro only cost me £1'900 so i don't see people rushing to buy at this price, what do you think? i can't fault my Q1, it does what is expected from a UMPC for a fraction of the price for a Flybook, and my wife even gives the Q1 the thumbs up.
