Review on Califone WT1 Wireless Tablet Interface by Joel Norfork

Revainrating 1 out of 5

expensive paperweight

This interface requires the user to press a button when using the stylus to input a character. Then release the button, move the pen, press again, and write again. When you're trying to write an equation to appear on the blackboard in front of 28 troubled seventh graders, the process becomes excruciatingly tedious. Also, the thumb of the left hand should help hold the tablet so I don't drop it by simultaneously pressing and releasing, pressing and releasing this button. Not an easy thing! To make matters worse, the software needs administrator privileges to install and reactivate it every time you start your computer. My school district has banned the device. I tried to sell it at a garage sale and couldn't even get $5 for this lousy thing!

Pros
  • Control keys on the left: Desktop; Up/Down/Left/Right/OK arrows; mouse buttons left/right; page up/down keys; Alt+Tab; Delete/Close/Esc keys; Red Pen/Screen Mode
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
