Tabletology reviews Electrovaya Scribbler SC 3100: Part 3: Final summary

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

Okay, at long last. Finishing up the Scribbler review from our notes.

I suppose our personal concern about the Scribbler, the thing that would keep us from buying it, is its apparent fragility. It is engineered with certain social assumptions, you might say, to the point that we would likely be unable to take it anywhere without breaking one or more pieces! Or even use it at home safely, for that matter!

Now consider this take on the Electrovaya Scribbler:

 

Danger! Careful! Gently! And that lovely little extremely clever flippable and twistable touchpad thing? We’d destroy it in a week. (Luckily we did not destroy it in the demo model.)

So all in all, as we face the question of what our next tablet will be, given the demise of the TC1100, a Scribbler is unlikely.
