Title: I'll get flamed for this...

...because it doesn't have a keyboard...

NOTE: SCROLL DOWN SLOWLY FOR MAXIMUM SUSPENSE


Let's see here...

What could be housed within this mysterious black case?

It appears to be some sort of screen-based device...

Why, it's a Fujitsu Stylistic LT C500 tablet PC. The digitiser appears quite scuffed but it's really not noticeable when the LCD is powered on.

My hand, and the stylus.

Yes, it's only like nine inches wide.

The other one, which was sold as nonworking, but simply lacked RAM. I added a 128MB stick of PC100 but have to wait to test further.

The docking station I bought from the same seller. She sold it as working with the LT C500 tablets, but it actually works with the LT P600 tablets. I'm attempting to return it for a refund.






Why no pics of them powered on? Because I ran out the one charged battery playing with the one that was sold as working, and there were no AC adapters included. I bought an AC adapter on ebay; here's hoping I receive it fast because I want to show these babies off while I still have school.

My Fujitsu 1510D is a convertible tablet.  Although in the beginning I tried using it as a  tablet exclusively my handwriting was so bad it wasn't worth it.  The other thing was I decided a stylus isn't all that  ergonomic - but my right wrist is banged up anyway so I hope you have better luck.

There are some fun tablet games (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/tabletpc.mspx) up on the Windows Tablet site.
Interesting... but I'll have to fool the programs into installing as it's not properly part of the Tablet PC hardware/software spec and just has vanilla XP Pro installed.Any way I can do that?

Actually, I just found an, ahem, unofficial site that explains how to get Tablet PC Powertoys installed on a non-Tablet-PC. GIMF.

Update: Seller agreed to take the docking station back and pay return shipping.
