Local coverage and a Vista TIP tip
UMPC, posted: 17-Oct-2006 22:05
We've had some local UMPC coverage here in NZ.
Rod did, as did Tim.
I agree with Tim. This device is great for a secondary PC, I dont use mine for things like coding (painful with a pen), but its great for reading and surfing on.
In Vista there are new controls in the TIP (TIP = Tablet Input Panel) for getting webpages up. You now have a button for the "http://" and another button for "www.". If you set your local for NZ you also get ".co" and ".nz" buttons as well as the ".com" button, so to go to a webpage using the TIP you just hit the "http://" and the "www." buttons, write in the domain name and hit the appropriate TLD buttons and you are done. Simple and nice.
