Kevin Tofel has a review of the Vye S37 focusing on the inking experience with this device. I’ve used inking on my SH6 less than half a dozen times in the more than two months that I’ve owned it now. It’s pretty much a laptop replacement for me.

Vye S37 Review

 

UMPC Portal has a very thorough review of the Vye S37, a device viritually identical to the Kohjinsha SH8.

On Vacation

My wife and I have been on vacation all this week. We’re staying at a wonderful resort in the mountains of West Viriginia. The picture above was taken right from our balcony – we definitely have a million dollar view of the mountains and forest here!

So far we’ve visited the Green Bank Radio Observatory, Seneca Rocks, and the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park – in addition to reading, playing games, napping, and eating at the resort: which features one of the finest restaurants I’ve ever eaten in.

I brought both my Konjinsha SH6 (used to create this posting) and my Nokia N800 along with me on this trip. So far the N800 remains unused in my travel bag. Can this really spell the end to my use of it? I’m starting to feel that all I need for truly portable computing is my SH6 and that the N800 is now superfluous to me. Who would have guessed that a few months ago?

As a result I have no interest in the new N810, which seems to be a very nice evolutionary improvement over the N800. Well back to napping!

SH6 Review

NotebookReview.com has a very good review of the Kohjinsha SH6, other than complaints about the power connector which I’ve never experienced and don’t even fully understand.

I’m Not Alone!

 

It looks like I’m not the only person in the world who likes Vista. See here and here. Also, when I had dinner with Kevin Tofel the other night he mentioned he was quite happy with Vista on his Samsung Q1, too.

N800 Bargain

Buy.com has the N800 available for just $242!

New KVM Switch

I just bought a new KVM switch to share the keyboard, monitor, and mouse between my Compaq desktop and my Kohjinsha SH6 at my client work site. It’s tiny – not much bigger than the mouse. It’s also much more reliable than the old Belkin KVM switch I was using. Best of all, the little D-Link KVM-121 only cost $24.48, including shipping, after a $10 rebate. It’s a real bargain!

Dinner with Kevin Tofel

Last night I had dinner with Kevin Tofel. We had a chance to talk about Tablets and the UMPC space, as well as some very interesting discussions on life in general. I found Kevin to be extremely intelligent and articulate and the dinner was a real pleasure for me. Of course, we also showed off our gadgets to each other – Kevin his Samsung Q1 UMPC and iPhone, and I my Kohjinsha SH6. From Kevin’s posting today it looks like he’s pretty impressed with the SH6.
