The First 10 Minutes With The New Kohjinsha

I have un-boxed and started to play with my new Kohji, and on first impression I am pleased with the device, but there are some things that I am disappointed with.

1. The supplied stylus is a cheap PDA type, and for me to small.
2. The case is like the previous models, and although it has a pocket for the stylus it still has an open end with no zip or fastening.
3. The mouse pad has a coating of lacquer making my finger stick rather than glide across it, although this will probably improve with use.
4. It is supplied with calibration software for the touch screen, but has no supplied hand writing recognition software. (I will test ritePen later)
5. The screen resolution is still unacceptable when set above 800 x 480.
6. No CE of FCC markings!!

The above are all fairly minor and can all be resolved either with add-on software or buying a better case and stylus. Now to the question you are all probably asking, "what about the keyboard?" Well we have all read the reviews on previous models, and how bad they keyboard on these are, well the GOOD news is they appear to have fixed the keyboard. I have only briefly used it to type some words, but at no time did it miss any letters, and I did not have to press the keys very hard. In fact I tried touch typing (although I am not very good at this) and no missed letters.

So to sum up after 10 minutes of use, anyone thinking about a Kohjinsha, it looks like this is the model to go for.

Snave, I posted the appended comment to the April 29, "Delays" thread. Could you clarify what is meant by calibration & how ritePen does work. Will the Kohj & ritePen combiination transform handwritten text into an ASCII file? Can typical English orthography be used, or is there a gestural language, like in early implementations of Palm OS?

Many thanks (prior comment appended) Richard

What would I be able to do with the SAF00V, W. Asked Dynamism about touch-screen functionality provided by Windows XP & told very limited--at least with respect to handwriting recognition. "Likely limited to moving windows around."

Do you all know more? Doesn't seem like it's a benefit worth $200. Thnks, must hurry terminal here timing out. Richard

richard the calibration software is the only touch screen software supplied with the kohji which is purely to calibrate the screen. If you want to make use of the touch screen then you will need to use ritePen which is like transcriber on a Pocket PC which converts your handwriting into text. This comment has been written using ritePen

Any Kohjis purchased from Dynamism will not have FCC approval stamps because they are not technically authorized to sell in the U.S. but likely get around that prohibition by going through a Japanese distributor. The only U.S. authorized distributor is Data Evolution (e.g., Cathena CX), which will have FCC stamps.
