Anyway, I'm happy the have switched to the 1100 (bought it second hand on eBay for about 700 €). The 1100 is more powerful enough to eliminate all the (already few indeed) sluggines of the 1000, and the incorporated Bluetooth and SD slot are really useful.
IMO is unfortunate that HP choosed to terminate that form-factor product line. |
Yes, I've heard mixed reviews about the pens as well, though I've used a few different Tablet's afterwards and most of their pens were either too thin or felt like I was holding a square plastic stick in my hand; not too natural.
I agree about the TC1100, I should have upgraded already but decided I needed to move to a different form-factor. I could have really used the pep introduced by getting away from the tired Transmeta Crusoe proc, not to mention the Bluetooth and 802.11g would have been a nice upgrade! Does it still run as warm as its predecessor?
Also agree about how they terminated dev on the formfactor too, I think they could have eventually gotten the slate down to a lot lighter and thinner form (though it was pretty nice to begin with). Most of the weight was in the battery and there have been a lot of advances in mobile computing since.
