The Que was hyped as being a reader for the business crowd, so having limited writing support on it seems like a glaring omission. Where as the iPad just isn't aimed or marketed at that crowd. The TV commercial doesn't show any real hints of doing "work" on the iPad for instance. |

But it's not as good as a resistive touch screen for stylus writing, a phone in cold weather (as you note etc.). I'm really torn as I do want to mark up documents with a stylus, but at the same time I love the super responsive finger touching found on the iPad. And at the end of the day I'll use whatever tablet I by mainly for just reading, surfing, watching videos etc. I'd be lucky if 2% of the usage would be document mark up. So I really need to check out something like iAnnotate with a capacitive stylus I guess, and see if it's workable for me. As I'm not sure I could give up the responsiveness of the touch screen of the iPad and other capacitive screens for better stylus writing that I wouldn't use that much. I hate the touch screen on my LG voyager for instance. It's resistive and just sucks compared to the iPhone screen etc. If I can't write well on a capacitive screen tablet, I may just say the hell with marking up documents electronically and stick with printouts indefinitely and just get a tablet for media consumption purposes as I vastly prefer net surfing, video watching, reading etc. on the iPad to my laptop. Interface is just so slick for that stuff, and it's nice to get away from a PC or laptop with as much time as I spend on them doing work! |
