jkOTR Mobile Media Edition 29: Fujitsu's Stylistic ST5112 slate Tablet

VGA iTunes compatible version (MP4 format, 640 x 480, 299 MB, 44 minutes)

VGA Windows Media Player version (WMV format, 640 x 480, 242 MB, 44 minutes)

What a powerhouse! The Fujitsu Stylistic ST5112 is all power and all slate. The 12.1-inch Tablet PC with the Core Duo processor runs for hours and hours After using the slate for a few weeks, I share some of the following aspects:

• Complete walk around of the device
• Thoughts on the pen and single speaker
• Skype demo with the dual array microphone
• Viewing angle of the screen and usage of the VGA out capabilities
• Hardware buttons
• Using the fingerprint sensor
• Covering the included applications
• Demonstrating the "warm" battery swap
• Final thoughts

Three quick production notes:

1. Lighting was a tad poor in my office studio, so the brightness isn't what we'd normally like to provide; I apologize.
2. Due to a lack of sunlight, I had to do a separate demo of the view anywhere screen on a different day; you'll see this in the final two minutes of the video. I nominate this segment as the "worst demo of a great screen. ever."
3. We have a QVGA version of the video up on our YouTube channel if you want a lower-resolution version streamed.

A special thanks goes out to Allegiance Technology Partners for loaning us the Fujitsu Stylistic ST 5112 Tablet PC!

Recently bought a 5112 and no complaints at all, until today. I've just bought a second-hand docking station - and the 5112 doesn't fit. Perhaps I'm naive and foolish, but I would have expected that a docking station manufactured by Fujitsu Siemens that says "Stylistic ST Series Tablet Dock" on it, and a Stylistic ST5112 Tablet, would have been compatible, but the holes in the back of the tablet are 3mm further apart than the locating knobs on the dock. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

I got X61 for a week now. Really loving it. BUT, Wireless connection does not work. It does not connect. If gets connected, stays fine. But upon restarting, it does not connect automatically. Again has to go thru discovery phase.

Any help will be appreciated.
