Pre-Order, Delivery, and Setup

[Bigum1969]

Picked up a flyer this morning at BestBuy while returning my Playbook.

So far I am loving this thing. I had a Zoom for awhile and really was lukewarm on Honeycomb. But with this interface, I actually like it better than stock Honeycomb.

I think the flyer is pretty snappy, which is a bit surprising considering it has a single core processor. The screen is also really nice. Not as bright as the Playbook, but sharp. I really have been looking for a 7 inch tablet, and I hope this proves to be the one.

After cancelling my pre-order last night and picking up a Flyer instore on my way home this eve, I can hardly wait to boot it up. The store had no Scribe pens---except the one that came in the box with the store demo unit which I saw being unboxed. So I'll get to know this surprisingly heavy(!) device and hope 'twill be useful to me in my online teaching and grading papers. The store manager (who grew up with my three sons), has been waiting for the Flyers to come in and I watched him play with the store demo one for a few minutes. He said, "We will get you a pen." So, now I'm off to fly for a little while . . .

P.S. SP, what're you thinkin'???

What do you think HBH after this?

HBH, check back tomorrow. My BB store could not find the pens at first, but then found them in another deptartment. They explained that if it doesn't show up in inventory, they do not know where it goes. The pens and Flyers should be in inventory by tomorrow.

Cute, SP; you're an artist!

Actually, I've been trying to figure how I can grade students' papers on this device. I had envisioned using the pen, but I suppose I'll need to keyboard my comments and responses---as I do now on the puter.

I'm not worried about the pen. 'Twould have been simpler, for certain, to get it yesterday, but I will wait till Tuesday or Wednesday to return for the pen. The closest BB to me is just down the road past Walmart and I'll need groceries by midweek.

BB has the pen on their website finally, says backordered , so I have that on order finally too!!

Hummingbirdhill, I got it to work with the Polaris Office app. I opened a document that had been created in Word, wrote right on it with the pen, saved it, and then sent it to my email. It saved and opened as a Word doc, not an image, and the inking is intact.

OK y'all- I am sooooooo jealous!

Pre-ordered my new baby May 10; just got the e-mail today that it has shipped. So, presumably it is on a truck somewhere between Ohio and northern New Jersey. There is a chance I may have it tomorrow....

Stopping at Best Buy on the way home just to see if they have one that I can touch to check out... :-D

Mine shipped yesterday too.....now the wait....hopefully it isn't more than a week to get here
