I'm always on the lookout for a replacement for my musicpad pro, and just noticed the new hp tablet.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of it, the HP TouchSmart tm2t series? Looks like it's the same weight and screen size as the MusicPad Pro, and priced at a similar level too.

Anyone using it with musicreader?

Iv'e Got the hp tablet.I am very disapointed with it.The touch function is very unresponsive at times and you have to fight it.It is a nicely made computer but he touch screen lets it down.

Hi tcon, do you use Music Reader on it? he screen looks very glossy so was wondering about reflection in different locations.

I myself gor an 9.7" I-pad which is actually to small for music reading to my liking..

I have a 22" screen in my software set-up which really rocks for music reading, just like real music sheets 2 pages at once.

I use a USB numerical keyboard for turning pages and other things while playing

See the post I added about the Kno. A hopefully up-coming tablet with two 14" screens.

Graham,

I use the HP Tx2z Tablet for lyrics and music using Adobe reader. I simply swipe the screen up or down to page through the music. I love the tablet it is responsive (with Windows 7) and works very well.

I haven't tried it with musicreader. Would you like me to try it for you?

Wow Robert, two 14" screens seems like the ideal. How much?

Al, thanks, I'm cautious to spend so much before getting some positive feedback from others. You can get musicreader as a free trial.

Thanks very much.

Graham

The article I read said they were shooting for around $1,000

Inside the vArranger software, there is a sheetmusic reader.

you can search the scores entering the first letters of the song,

you can turn page by just clicking on it, or with a PC key, or with a midi message.

The scores are displayed in the screen, the bigger as possible, while fitting the screen size and concerving the original ratio.

This is one of the features of the varranger software.

You can also display the sheet music automatically while you load a style/song

...

It's a very interesting feature.

I have the HP TM2 tablet. the touch screen is OK after turning off, on the device manager, the usb power managment of the touch screen

the only problem is that the screen is very glossy....
