I m not sure whether that s an example of an antiglare coating gone wrong, but the end result is that the display truly works its best only in dim light. The port station screws into the back like a stand for using the Qbe on a desk. With the port station, the Qbe is more functional than some desktop systems. The webcam at the top of the Qbe can capture images at a resolution of up to 640 by 480 pixels. But it s inadequate for gathering live video of what s happening in front of the device.
Images tend to blur and drop out.
For still images, it works fine. In the ZD benchmark tests, the Qbe could barely render eight 3-D frames per second even at a low texture density. For more detailed textures, it dropped to one or two frames per second. You might not need blazing 3-D performance from a handheld computer, but some users do. The battery life, as you might guess given the large screen, is short.
