2007-12-17
hi this is steven scarlet is from pocket now calm and this is the final part of the video review of the tablet kiosk sahara slight bc i for 40 d today we're going to check out the pcmcia slot audio quality and a couple of the included utilities let's take a look at the pcmcia slot it resides on the top of the unit here and it includes a little blank which keeps the design flush when the blank is in and you don't have a pc a mcia card also presents dust and stuff from getting into the slot which is nice and it's in a great location for cards like the verizon air card because then you can handle the tablet with the air card at the top which is a great antenna location let's talk a little bit about the audio quality in the bluetooth stack especially with the a2dp profile which provides a stereo output to your bluetooth so i'm actually very impressed with the quality of the two speakers one here and here it's great to have to touch my capability and the speakers are are not real loud but they're loud enough to be comfortable with bluetooth if you want to use headphones I've got my pair of Motorola HTA 20s which work great with the unit and these can actually be connected as a bluetooth stereo headset or as a bluetooth headset so you can use programs like skype and messenger to make internet-based calls so this is very handy to have the slate pc comes with this manual which has been quite handy it deprived ides instructions on all the included utilities in the hardware and both explains the XP operation and Vista operation and you can see their screen prints it's a very nice manual it's also available in PDF format we're going to look at two utilities the first utilities is you can actually assign programs to these three buttons the fourth one you want to I would think you would want to keep on digitizer and touch mode that enables you to switch between the two and to bring up a little touch utility use this icon here and it allows you to program each button so the second button is a program to Internet Explorer file explorer and mail and you can open up and choose whatever program you'd like to use another very nice utility is a password management utility that allows you to use your fingerprints instead of passwords with application in web pages so let's see how that works so we'll use the saw the keys here on the side to bring up Internet Explorer and then I'll go to my hotmail account and go ahead and sign in bring up the so put in my password which I made temporarily for this little demo and right away the vitac e utility comes up and asked me do I want to save this user ID and password combination and I can put in a name so I'll say hotmail insert it save it and now i'm logging into my hotmail account if i log off so we'll say sign out and the next time i log back in asked to login the vitae key utility comes up and i can either use my one of two fingers that i enroll the other day so let's see this is a little strange at this angle but let's see how well it does need to there we go and unlock back in automatically so yeah other than the angle of the fingerprint reader it works quite well this is a very useful feature so that's about it on my video review of the tablet kiosk Sahara slate pc I for 40 D and I'll be back later on this week with what I love and what I hate about this tablet pc you
