Hi all. I am new PE user (and yes, this is my first post in this forum, though I've been a voyeur for sometime

) and still in a delirium happy state -say, mediocre acid experience or what have you - with it. I received my PE two days ago. Got it for 140 usd (take that you overpriced e-ink/tablet!), used like new condition from amazon (still could not find a way to re-registered it under my name, but I think I will browse myself this forum for some answer

). My partner got an Ipad2, toy with it for a while, hate it for I am an addict scribbler. I toyed with xoom and all, tablet wise, and also e-ink devices like nook or prs950. Tell you the truth, PE was never my option. I saw it laggy in eink journal writing (based on someone's review in youtube). I've also heard that the EE company is bailing out, which is still a bit scary in terms of future technical assurance. For the past two months, I crave for EEE note (I hope this indicates how much I am into scribbling). I am in fact part of those people commenting for the ugly Asus PR job for the EEE note, banging their door for the exact release date. In fact, as I decided to have it a go with PE, I still reserve my plan the plan to purchase EEEnote. Cut the story short; as soon as got my PE, toy with it for while, I decided to install maplepaint, then my EEE note plan is in my trash bin. Have you all seen how EEE scribbling works in some review? It's surely very interesting, if you have not used the maplepaint on lcd part of the PE. (I even havent use, as Boris have suggested, app such Thinking Space or BI note). I compare my experience w/ maplepaint, with those scribbling preview of EEE note. Please bare in my mind that EEE note is black and white lcd; compare that with PE color lcd; EEE note is having a problem with its browser, compare that with PE browsing experience. Aside from this (I know I should have asked the following question in another thread; my beginner status hopefully deserves a beginner mistake

) Is anyone find it strange that this very useful pro-student/writer/organizer gadget lack good market reception? Everyone in gadget world seems very much obsessed in search for "the true productivity tools that is not merely a entertainment-gadget" (according to endgadget), yet the hype is mostly for the speed and power, lightness, thinness etc. I had my answer for my need, and I plan to stick with it.
