I got rid of the Dolphin and ezDesk shells, the Panda antivirus and MS Office trials and a bunch of other things; instead I got the MS Security Essentials and Go-OO, an improved version of OpenOffice.org, Firefox and so on.

Performance is nice when running videos on VLC or smplayer, with no glitches at fullscreen with 700×296 XviD and 25FPS and stereo mp3 sound.

To get a decent virtual keyboard I installed Click-N-Type, which is free, and using their designer and Admin tool, created a DialKeys look-alike with quite practical results for two-finger typing. Click-N-Type is far from ellegant, but it is highly customizable and once it is just the way you want it, you probably won't be doing any more tweaking and you forget the distasteful experience. I actually like more my current setup than the DialKeys configuration I used to have on my old tablet.

The registry keys controlling the program launched when the “Home” button is pressed is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareIntelBezelButton

There are settings for single and double press actions.

I really love this netbook, which really sets itself appart from the Dell/Acer/HP bunch, and it's perfect for reading PDFs on the train/bus or while relaxing on the bed or the couch.

I'll try and make a video of how I am using this to post on my YouTube account, TuuTuuTango. Stay tuned (meanwhile, Google “Dyess C-130 Abilene, YouTube”) and you'll find me.

I had it shipped UPS Ground. $10 and it'll arrive Friday. And they didn't charge me Texas state sales tax. That was nice.

The Built-in Mic or even the external Mic plug into the jack has poor performance ? Even I raise the mic volume all the way up, it is still so soft. For the build-in mic, I have to put my mouth so close to the mic hole. I spend alot of time convincing the tech staff the Mic has problem. Do anyone knows if there is specialized tablet tech staff at CTL that I can contact ? I'll see what happens today.
I'm new to the touch-screen….to use our finger for touch-screen, I find that I have to use the finger-tip, instead of the flat-part of finger or thumb, is this expected ?

Thanks !

Thanks for the heads up. With that in mind then, I'll be placing my order tomorrow.

I fired off a note via their website messaging system about this a couple of days ago but haven't heard back. A lot of their pages seem still not to be completely ready for prime-time (ie. “Insert company name here.” “phone: 555-555-5555″ kind of stuff). Guess it couldn't hurt to follow up with a direct email.
