Since I have used every tablet on the market, I figured I might as well try the Jetstream too.
Here is a quick review for those wondering what this device is like:
I picked this up at a local AT&T store this morning. The store was only shipped one, but it was one more than the first store I tried. Obviously AT&T doesn't expect to sell many for the price.
The Scribe Pen is free with the purchase of the Jetstream. For the $, they should give you something. I still find it odd that HTC doesn't include the Pen in the box. I compare that to buying a new car, but the motor is separate.
The size and weight are very nice. Smaller and lighter than the HP Touchpad or Toshiba Thrive.
It has a nice metal back. The back is smooth. I think I prefer the Lenova rubbery back compared to any other tablets. But this back looks sharp, and is well designed.
The outer casing has a slight curved design, very similar to the HTC FLyer, or EVO View. This is nice, as you can lay it flat of the screen, but the slight curve keeps the screen from touching the surface.
The screen is beautiful. Nice, bright and clear. Very well done.
The Sense Launcher is nice. I really liked the Flyer/View for it's use of Sense, so this is thumbs up.
The overall speed of the device is great so far, but it needs to be put through a workout before I can really comment. My initial impression is that apps open quick and fast, and web browsing is better than other tabs, especially with loading pages.
The Pen input is just like the Flyer/View. For taking notes, the screen size is perfect. I am also currently trying out a Lenova Thinkpad, and I prefer the Jetstream especially with it's Pen Input and PDF annotating. The Jetstream also allows you to write/draw on any screen anytime, which is great for jotting down notes.
Overall I really like this device. The price point is obviously off the mark, but when you compare it to a 3G iPad, I would pick the Jetstream over the iPad. The 4G, and the Pen input really appeal to me.
