What's wrong with the E2 and TX digitizers? The OS driver for them sucks, digitizers themselves are just fine... Best Regards, Dmitry Grinberg (847) 226 9295 On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 10:55 AM, Ben Rittgers wrote: > I asked my boss to order some testing units as soon as they become > availab

I asked my boss to order some testing units as soon as they become available. Our customers are fed up with the failing digitizers of E2 and T|X, yet don't want to pay for the high-priced Janam units. Bluetooth is a must as well as some kind of SD feature. Do you happen to know what form the

If you had followed the MEZ1500 (and formerly the MEZ2000) story from the beginning back in 2007, you would understand why Aceeca is hesitant to say too much before they are actually ready to ship. After pleading with them for several months, I finally got permission from the Aceeca CEO to star

Well Luis, it really depends on the target market. The iPod Touch is great for consumers/gamers, but the Aceeca handhelds are designed for an entirely different customer. There is obviously room for both. -- David Thacker http://www.SatelliteForms.net The Premier RAD Tool for PalmOS & PocketP
