Buy a second charger before they discontinue everything. They are selling the correct one after I tore them a new orifice for selling me the wrong one.

I set all of the icons to be as large as possible, which helps with finger input. Holding your finger on something is the equal of right clicking. The keyboard button is really nice, if it doesn't come up automatically, or if you need the keyboard. The shift,alt and ctrl buttons temp lock on when you tap them.

If find that when I'm in a place for any length of time, I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. When I'm not, i use the on screen keyboard. Yesterday at the airport, i needed to send out 4 purchase orders. Since I was in a rocking chair (San Diego airport!), I just used the on screen keyboard and the finger controls. Worked fine.

The real use of the Slate 500 is that it runs all windows applications, like Quick Books and Full Outlook and Microsoft Office.

What did you pay for your Slate? If the price drops, I'm buying a couple more.
