Waiting long raises the eyebrow. Curiosity seeps into the frame, and doubting the outcome is the only way out. Gadget freaks like us had been eagerly awaiting Mintpass to throw in its novel make at us for long now, ever since they parted ways from iRiver and formed the company. We had skeptical thoughts on what was coming, until finally we saw Mintpad, a tablet notepad – priced at $156.
What’s innovative:
With the introduction of Mintpad, there is a digital aspect added to the conventional note scribbling. Using Wi-Fi for connectivity, it is also a media player and web browser. The touchscreen notepad is stuffed with 1.3-megapixel cam, 4GB of memory with microSD extension, has a built-in microphone and speakers — all this on a 320 x 240-pixel 2.9-inch screen with 30 hours of estimated battery life.
The notes sent through Mintpad are an improvement (if we may say so) over the IM’s that we normally use for instant communication. Scribble your note on the Mintpad screen through a stylus (for it has no keyboard), and there your poorly written note is sent in original and complete state to the recipient in a jiffy. There is a limitation; this can only send notes to other Mintpads.
