2008-04-27
this is red wine with park part to the video review for the electro via scribbler sc4 go through the fingerprint reader and the Bluetooth hardware on this Windows Vista tablet pc first let me go through the fingerprint reader as i mentioned in part 1 of the video review in the hardware overview there is a fingerprint reader on the top right of the device where you could just swipe your finger and log in to your favorite websites or log into the computer it makes it really easy because this computer doesn't have a keyboard and it's solely dependent on using the tablet pen so sometimes it's just easier instead of having to write your passwords you can just swipe your finger across the reader and login for example if I were to lock this computer here I've locked it now and now it's going to bring up the fingerprint reader software I just swipe my finger across the top and I just logged right back in another nice thing is if I go to a website let's say go to pocketnow.com and let's go to our user forums click on that here so here we have the user forums and let's say i wanted to login so i can make comments on the forms itself in this moment the fingerprint software is going to come up again I've already loaded in my user ID and my password tying it to my fingerprint so if I swipe my finger print again and a second it's going to highlight the areas where it thinks it should fill in it does and in a second it's going to log me in automatically again this is a really nice feature it makes it really easy you don't have to keep you any passwords written down and you just swipe your finger across the device and you log into whatever you want to log into really great feature here if you wanted to adjust the settings on your fingerprint reader software you just double click this little icon at the bottom here and to get into it again it's tied to your fingerprint we log right in and it brings up this for these four little icons that you can go through the first is just the Internet Explorer auto log-in so here's where you save your IDs and passwords the second is a secure lock it just locks or unlocks your hard drive on your device third is your user settings and forth is helping reference the last icon the botton bottom is just to exit the application so if we wanted to register another finger we go to fingerprint registration and let's say I want to register my middle finger here so it click on that and I click on next and it's gonna bring up another window here and it's got asked me to swipe my finger across the screen across the reader a few times just so I can get a good read on it so I'm going to swipe it once and every time it gets a good read it's going to highlight these little radio buttons here to indicate it's got a good read and now it's done and now my finger is registered for use on this device really nice feature so the next thing I want to go through is the Bluetooth implementation on this tablet pc again as i mentioned before this has bluetooth 2.0 the only problem is it doesn't have the 82 p drivers so you couldn't use your bluetooth headphones but i wanted to see how it would work with multiple devices and syncing up with my blackjack and my at&t tilt so what I'm going to do here first is I'm going to turn off the Wi-Fi let me move this back a little bit so you can see here and what we're going to do first here is I'm going to set up internet sharing on my tilt here with the scribbler so I've turned off the Wi-Fi and if I go to internet sharing here I got it set up for Bluetooth personal area network using ATT media net if I click on connect let's see I just have to make sure my device is set is view is visible so it's asking me to do that so I just set that up as visible the internet sharing just asked me to set up a personal area network on the computer itself so I tap on the Bluetooth Eric icon join and tap on join a personal area network and I've got my my tilt already already partnered with this computer so I can just click on connect it's connecting and now i have tethered my to AT&T tilt to the scribbler so now i have access to the Internet this is really nice to have especially I I travel a lot and to be able to access internet on the fly is really nice so I'm on HTC's wiki site and now i'm going back to pocketnow.com and that works just great the next thing when i try doing is actually active sync at the same time with my blackjack two so if i go over to active sync here menu and connect on via bluetooth the black jack is working at the moment and now windows mobile device center on Windows Vista is opening up as you can see it takes a little time here and now i can set i haven't set up a partnership with this computer but i'll just connect without setting up the a partnership here and now i'm in through bluetooth which is really nice so it's go to file management and here it's try to login to micah blackjack and now i can see the contents on my blackjack and on its storage card so again you know the bluetooth implementation on this on this scribbler is really nice again the only problem I have is it just doesn't have the 82 p drivers which is really unfortunate so i couldn't use the my bluetooth headphones with and i couldn't give that a run so this has been raid one with pocketnow.com and part two of the video review of the electro via scribbler SC 4000
