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?"

    Hopefully all their proxies got banned. And if this is the case, I'd like to thank the Slashdot editors for removing them. I got sick of seeing their same junk in every article. It kind of ruined the fun of reading at -1.

    Your saying that a commericial version of Linux is popular. I laugh just hearing the words Linux and popular in the same context, but throw in the commericial fact and it should make you want to fall out of your chair.

    ya right like I am going to pay $30 to get a "popular" Linux

  9. Handwriting Recognition? by Jerk+City+Troll · · Score: 0, Troll

    I think they seriously forgot something... I didn't see any mention of handwriting recognition.

    Without that, it defeats the whole point of a tablet PC. That silly onscreen keyboard makes it slower to enter data at the expense of wearing out the touchscreen and taking up screen realestate.

    This is a silly flop. I cannot believe a company would release something like this without even offering something so basic that has been on tablet machines since the Qbe. Aren't there any open source handwriting recognition libraries they could have used?

    It's really quite useless like this.
