Windows 7 Launcher

[mikeymike66]

Hi everyone.

Having been a long time user of a 604wifi (and occasional visitor to Archosfans) I am now a new 43It user after I picked one up for a decent price on Eb. I bought it for the clarity of the screen, the small form factor and the HDMI connectivity with no docks. I mainly use it to watch movies on the go and connect to TV when I am away from home. Thus the resistive screen issue is not a big problem for me. However, I have installed the Gingerbread keyboard from the marketplace, which seems to improve matters compared to the stock one ÔÇô even if the right hand side of the keyboard is partially obscured by the soft buttons. IÔÇÖll keep a look out for your tips on keyboards etc. on the forum

Has anyone tried the Windows 7 launcher as per this vid?

I am just wondering if the big tiles as opposed to icons might make for a better user experience?

As for a case I am using a soft leather-like glasses case that I had lying around and is an ideal fit for the 43IT- screen is protected and is snug so that the 43 is still slim enough to go into my pocket.
ThatÔÇÖs all for now

The best way is to try it yourself, no need to listen to anybody. That is why androidOS is so good, you can install and uninstall so easily. The video looks very nice tho.

You've only looked at the video. I've tried it. It sucks like WP7 sucks too!

I am not surprised, same way a WP7 user will say about Android, it sucks. That is why people should try it out themselves, if they don't like it, delete it, not the end of the world. So many free launchers out there for Android.

To me. It was nice to try. But it isn't for me. That's also why I still don't have a WP7(.5) device.

Thanks for the replies - I'll give it a go and see how I feel about it. It seems that many people aren't using this may tell me all I need to know - thanks again.

Post your result and tell us how you feel, but don't just say" I used it, I don't like it"

I like the setup I have now, everything is so smooth. Maybe one day I feel bored then I might give it a try.
