"Finished"

I decided to stop working on the tablet. I added a few finishing touches and now I am calling it complete. I could spend a few more hours on a frame for the screen and make it look quite a bit nicer, but because of the problems I ran into I don't think it will be worth it. I also had a few inspiring ideas while working on this project, so I may disassemble the computer again and turn it into something else!

One of the problems was that even though the touch screen works... Windows doesn't see it as a HID device, therefore I cannot use Windows 7's touch and flick features. So it is basically a glorified mouse. I tried all sorts of drivers. Nothing. Also, the cabling that is on the outside doesn't look that great. I could spend time to solder it within the tablet but again, not worth the time.

Otherwise, the tablet works great. It now has 2 GB of ram as well as a cloth to sort of shield the cables (also doubles as a stand). Perfect for watching movies in bed and doing basic web browsing on the go. Just not the sleekest tablet out there ;)
