hi this is stephen skarlatos from pocketnow.com and this is part two of the video review of the tablet kiosks Sahara slate pc I for 40 D tablet pc today we're going to check out the fingerprint reader and attaching a bluetooth keyboard so let's examine the fingerprint reader I've already enrolled my index finger and you can see the log on now shows the fingerprint at the top left hand corner it's actually easier if I lay the slate pc down and then all I need to do this is the fingerprint reader right here is slide my finger it validates it up in the corner and logs on it's a very nice feature especially when you don't have a keyboard and it's a great way to secure your slate pc they've included a wizard for your fingerprint enrollment and since i've already enrolled my index finger i need to pass it on now get into the wizard and I can actually enroll any one of my fingers so let's say I want to enroll my middle finger on my right hand it's a very simple process right here it tells me whether it's successful or not and when it has enough matches it says that it's enrolled so I needed five tries to get it enrolled and now my index finger is actually enrolled so i can press ok here whenever I have a need for inputting large amount of texts I can't do without a keyboard I mean it's just faster for me than writing the tablet kiosk slate pc has a two ways to hook up a keyboard the first is through the USB port with a USB keyboard which i don't have this keyboard also allows you to get into the bios the second method is using a bluetooth keyboard i happen to have an igo stowaway keyboard which i did a review on a while ago on pocketnow.com and i use this keyboard when I need to do a lot of typing with my windows mobile devices so with Bluetooth here odd so the sahara slate pc has the blue Sol a bluetooth stack and i can actually bring it up using this icon and you see I've already paired the keyboard so to connect it you need to wake up the keyboard by pressing and let's get the right click here so it has connected the keyboard and you can see that it shows the icon i don't have the associated mouse but I go also has an a bluetooth mouse as well as the keyboard so to type text in I could bring up the notepad and I can say this is a test so it works quite well and it uses the embedded drivers for Bluetooth keyboards that are part of the blue Sol a Bluetooth stacks and I can use the start key as well as the other function keys that are in the that are part of this five row keyboard from I go so there you have it how to hook up a Bluetooth keyboard to the Sahara slate pc works quite well on in addition to using the pen for entry which also works well it's just not as fast for me or you can also use touch by pressing the mode button here and I don't want to say this so you've got quite a few input mechanisms on the Sahara slate pc i'll be back with more of the review later on this week you
