A500 tablet... well kinda

[Franko]

I had a go on my sisters laptop over xmas, these fiddelly wee touch tablet wot-nots are no good for folk like me with big sausage fingers...

Couldn't get the mouse pointer to do anything but jitter about all over the screen and windows and drawers opening up willy nilly cos it seemed to think me finger was pointing at something (heck it even locked up at one point)...

Why don't they make these wee touch pad thingies a bit bigger about 16 inches by 12 inches would suit me fine I reckon...

10.1ins is about as big as they're ever likely to get. Remember these things are designed to be portable and easy to hold in your hand. At 16ins weight, bulk and battery life would become serious problems.

If you're wanting something of those sorts of dimensions, a laptop is your best bet.

Drat... no good good for us with out of proportion fingers then, in fact mines look a bit like the ones in your current avatar, cept there more a blue & purple colour cos it's still ruddy freezing here and the snows just stared up again...

Anyone one know where I can purchase new smaller hands...

"Gee, I wish my retro computing hobby didn't mean having to use retro computers..."

Amiga has no technological future, just preservation of the past. Until someone manages to start a new company where more than 50% of the engineers are people like Haynie or other former Commodore/Amiga engineers, I'm not going to consider any of the "new Amiga" pretenders out there to be real Amigas. Even if some of them are cool and Amiga inspired... it's not Amiga. It's been over 15 years, let it go. Whatever might've been isn't going to happen.

What about the Natami & it's claims to have some new advanced GFX modes that's new...

I do agree it wont be a classic Amiga in the true sense, but if its claims of being 100% backwards compatible and introducing new GFX modes are true then it certainly looks like the future of the Amiga... only time will tell though...
