Yes, it’s the Electrovaya touchpad
Posted by Olga Kits under Tablet PC Reviews , Electrovaya Scribbler SC 3100
That’s two first-place prizes to give out in the first tabletology quizology (in a conceptual, prizology, kind of way), and one sour grape for neuroblabla (we know who you are!).
Yes, indeed, it is the Electrovaya touchpad that goes with the Scribbler SC 3100. You slide it out of the right top of the keyboard and slide it in to the side of the key board. You can place the touchpad either on the left or right hand side of the key board (useful for those of you who are left handed). Here is a close-up of what it looks like.
Clever, eh?
We’re not exactly exhaustive, manual-reading kind of computer users. We’re kind of post-literate when it comes to technology. We expect things to make sense by feel. So we had the Scribbler a few days, and we had more than one conversation about the appearance that there was some "thing" that maybe could detach from the clip-on keyboard, before we figured out that it did detach and, furthermore, what it was. Can you spot it hiding in the picture below?
The origami appearance you see in our mystery picture is because the touchpad itself needs to flip inside the frame that has the connectors to the keyboard in order for it to attach on both the left and rights sides. They probably have a whole special team of elves in a special Santa workshop at Electrovaya who build this little gizmo.
