Lycoris Announces Desktop/LX Tablet Edition

Posted by timothy on from the what-about-tublet-pcs dept.

penguinrenegade writes "Lycoris has announced the release of a new Tablet Edition of their popular Desktop/LX Operating System. There are several screenshots in the tour, and it looks like a really polished system, including some of the things that you'd really need in a Tablet, like the virtual keyboard, actually working. It appears according to one page that there are already Tablets in production by some manufacturer, too. So much for Bill Gates and his vision of only Microsoft on a Tablet, eh?"

  1. Comdex Best of Show - BeOS Webpad by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyone remember that? 2000, I think.

    A few months later, the company that won Best of Show for their BeOS-based webpad switched to Windows CE...

  2. Linux GUI Design by straterpatrick · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I don't understand why the 'evolution' of Linux means that it become more and more like Windows. If Windows is the bad (not that I'm saying it is) why do all Linux apps try to emulate it. From OpenOffice.org to Licoris, why are we stuck using Windows Graphic Design and Interfaces. I mean if you really want to copy a GUI why not look to Mac OS X?

  3. Has anyone tried Lycoris OS? by AKAImBatman · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It looks like the OS can be downloaded from http://www.lycoris.org. Has anyone here tried it? They've pretty much taken KDE, reskinned it, added a network browser and packaged it "For the whole family".

  4. Handwriting Recognition by Poeir · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I checked the site, and I couldn't find any mention of handwriting recognition. Does anyone have any idea what the quality of the Lycoris' (or another Linux distro for tablet PCs) handwriting recognition quality is?

    Also, where could I buy this, and what would it cost?
