Amazon.com Review
Take your PC with you, around the house or throughout your office, and work wherever you want, with the ViewSonic airpanel V110. This wireless monitor lets you check your email or surf the Web remotely from your Windows XP Pro-based PC (free upgrade to Windows XP Profession Edition and free USB wireless adapter and cable are included).p Don't think of the airpanel as a computer; it's a wireless accessory for your existing PC that you can write on and that provides access to all your files, applications, and settings. The design is chunky but easy to hold, with rounded corners and a clear, bright screen. Two USB ports on the top accept a mouse and keyboard, but since the airpanel is a touch screen, you probably won't need them.p In our tests of the airpanel, we found that the stylus was small but had a nice balance. The four-way cursor control was a little slow, but at least we didn't jostle the cursor accidentally; and the left and right mouse buttons were useful with the pen too. For text entry, we typed and wrote into an input panel. We tapped and dragged onscreen to control Windows itself; in fact, we could see our PC's desktop on the airpanel as if we were sitting in front of the PC screen, but without desktop wallpaper. p The 10.4-inch screen looked small initially, but when we held it in our hands or rested it on our lap, it didn't feel cramped; and it was small and light enough to carry easily from room to room. Without the usual PC components like a hard drive, CD-ROM, and so on, the Airpanel didn't get too warm to hold either. p Overall, the airpanel V110 is pricier than a normal PC monitor, but being untied from a desk is a great benefit.

Amazon.com Product Description
The ViewSonic airpanel V110 is a 10-inch wireless, touch-screen LCD monitor that lets you use your computer from anywhere in your home. Thanks to Microsoft's Smart Display technology, you can remotely access all the data on your Windows XP-based home PC--surf the Web from the couch, check e-mail while lying in bed, download recipes in the kitchen, share digital pictures on the patio--regardless of where your PC is located. And it's truly portable, weighing only three pounds.p The V110 includes a powerful 400 MHz Intel XScale processor for added speed, power savings, and efficiency. The Microsoft(r) Windows(r) CE for Smart Displays operating system works much like your PC, so you'll automatically feel familiar with applications. Convenient directional pad and hot buttons make navigation fast and simple. Memory is a whopping 64 MB ROM and 128 MB SDRAM. The long-life lithium-ion battery lasts up to five hours. Colors are vivid and text is crisp with the bright full-color transflective display. The 800 x 600 resolution keeps your image details clear.p The V110 supports an optional docking station to keep your Smart Display fully charged and within easy reach; it also permits convenient connection of an external keyboard or mouse for added input functionality. The V110 is an ideal supplement to your current PC and monitor setup, but if you want to use an airpanel as the primary PC monitor, check out ViewSonic's model V150 with optional dock.p Included in the box are integrated wireless support and an 802.11b airsync USB wireless adapter for your home PC. Although the V110 requires your primary PC to use Windows XP Professional, it comes with a free upgrade for current users of Windows XP Home Edition.

This thing is really just a big oll remote for all of your computers! Thank god! hah br / br /It appears that some people have this confused as a full blown tablet PC. Well it isn't. It is as one of the users put it just a terminal interface that uses the remote connection built into winXP br / br /The main target for this device I would think should be people who are interested in a Home theater PC. Well actually a remote for their HTPC. With the Mplus software that comes installed on the newer Air panels (http://www.mplusint.com/) you can do quiet a bit with this thing. br / br /Might also be handy for the kitchen looking up recipes and stuff. Then again I GUESS you could just print it! br / br /This device isn't for my mom it isn't for my friend who casually uses a PC. This device is for me who has several PC's and an extensive HTPC setup. For 400$ this thing is pretty slick. I would like it to be at around 300$ after all is said and done. br /
To the person who recommened another brand... June 30, 2003

To the person who recommened the Envision EN-5200e 15 LCD Monitor instead of the ViewSonic Airpanel V110 10 Smart Display...I hate to tell you this but they are totally different kinds of monitors. The Envision is just a monitor period. I have a 15 Rad LCD monitor which I like fairly well...if on a site to long the numbers and letters imprint in the screen forever lol. But the ViewSonic Smart Display is a monitor that you install wireless and then can use at the desk or you can take it to the living room, bedroom, outside or wherever and continue to use as if you were at your desk. I don't mean to sound bossy or know-it-all, but they really are two different birds! Thanks for listening.brP.S. That's why there is a big price difference too. :o)
 Has some flaws, but pretty cool June 20, 2003

A little too heavy for my taste, but I like the versatility and robustness of the Air Panel. Great display! Really pleasant to read on and nicely built. Of course price is high on this, but just wait a few months and it'll come down quick.

In an age of sub-500 dollar laptops... why would you want one of these "appliances" (read: Novelty Item) at the current price-point...? I have a wireless network set up in my home and connect with two desktops, two laptops, a print server, and a HP Pocket PC. All of the drives are shared, every device can hit on the print server, and all devices can be used simultaneously. In the case of the laptops and the Pocket PC, they can be used anywhere on my property and even will roam across the street. I have one PC laptop that stays at home and a Powerbook that travels with me. When I go to work, I roam right into another wireless network and again share all of my resources. The difference is that when I am sitting in the airport or a hotel room, I can actually pull out my laptop and work. Back to the original question: Why would you want to spend [so much] on a dumb terminal when you can have a full-blown laptop for much less? The tablet PC would be at least as good as the laptop and would offer the "touch screen" interface for those who like it. This "smart display" is the whole "network appliance" idea, which apparently just will not die, repackaged - the proverbial "pig with lipstick" ... or is it the Trojan Horse? Following the technology insider's path, the next move will be to "simulate" the versatility of the stand-alone laptop by having the "smart display" link up to a Microsoft server and an Adobe server and a Corel server ...etc. At first we will be given this "feature" at, or possibly below, cost (called a "loss leader" in marketing). Then, after a period of time, we will be forced to pay increasingly higher monthly fees to both access our software and to store our information. Pandemonium will follow... I can see it coming as clearly as I can see a storm coming on the Weather Channel's radar. Personally, I am taking my laptop and my umbrella.
 A technical question; inventory tracking February 23, 2003

I'm considering Smart Displays for a business application.pI don't know why the marketing (that I've seen) for this product is just the home market. Yes, I realize it works with Windows XP Pro which can be connected to using remote desktop connection, and there's a free upgrade CD for XP Home users. pIt seems I could use it in a business environment, such as a warehouse, and connect to a Windows 2003 Server running terminal services, and attach a (USB) barcode reader--preferably the wand/pen type, or an RFID reader, to it to do physical inventory tracking?pOk, I realize 2003 Server is not quite out yet (I have RC2). But wouldn't that be a good application for it? The inventory data displayed is always up-to-date, and there's no need to sync up to upload or download data. I think it would be a "killer" application for smart displays.pMy main reason for writing this comment is to ask that question, but I do have a comment. I've looked at the V110 and V150 displays at CompUSA. They're not hooked up to any Windows XP Pro computer. So the ViewSonic demo kind of falls short if you're trying to figure out how they work or how well they work. I took my laptop which has 2003 Server on it to CompUSA, but those displays are not actually Smart Displays. They're fake displays running a little floor show.pBob.
