I have been remiss with blog posts. I suspect I am addicted to twitter.My new school year resolution is make my Blog writing more regular.
We have been identifying a new device for the incoming S1. The reason this is required is that Samsung are no longer making the Q1 UMPC.
We tried several devices and types of device before settling on the Dell 2100 Netbook.
The reason we went for this was the robustness of this device as its specifically designed for the education market. We also went for the optional touch screen to keep the maximum usability for what we have already developed.
So the next question was which apps should we install in the image.
