Star Trek Online on Joojoo a Multitouch Windows 7 Vulcan salute to all the nay sayers...

A year ago the brightest and shiniest tech blogs told you that the joojoo tablet could not even run Flash:Even more vitriol was poured on the idea that Windows 7 would be of any use on the tablet form factor..... Well then...


This is Star Trek Online , the 12gb install , full PC MMO , running on just such a joojoo tablet with Windows 7 and it flies.. Maybe it is the maturity of the game engine , but I did not expect to be able to play this game at this speed or detail . The fact that I am doing so using a touch screen adds infinitely to the Star Trek atmosphere , as any PAD fan will tell you!..  STO has been sitting on my gaming rig for a year almost , yesterday I put the install data onto my joojoo ssd to see how the nVidia Ion handled the game .In fact ,Cryptic if you are listening this is the way I am always going to play.Lets take the USS 3ch3lon out for a spin using touch!

Speaking of which  . pinch and zoom works , rotating the screen and using all the HUD controls , just a finger touch away , launching photon torpedoes by touching an on screen control is way more 25 th century than than clicking a mouse button! If you must you can control the game with any joypad including your younger siblings 360 wireless pad , and even the onscreen touch Windows keyboard as I will show you later....

First lets start with a basic tour:

Now let us get down to some combat , again check the speed of the game , and the detail , this is my first attempt at touch screen combat by the way , at least that's my excuse ....

and now having discovered the target camera let's try again 

and if you do not have an external keyboard handy , you can play with the onscreen keyboard too!

and it is not all space combat! here are some pictures of missions that require you to have boots on the ground, all running happily on the joojoo tablet...

check out Astrometrics , minus 7 .... 

and every one's favourite the Galaxy Map ( which you can pinch and zoom to really show off to the half borg Valkyrie you always wanted to impress)

all in all certainly not bad for tablet and OS that receive so many biased negative vibes from Cupertino para-sites

What you need on your tablet IS your desktop, not some cut down or streamed facsimile , with all the freedom that comes with a full OS running the same software and drivers as your main pc , as you can see this is possible , the hardware exists already to blow away the locked phone os tablets that current market leaders would shackle you to. 


My year old joojoo can do it ! The joojoo as I have stated before is the Millennium Falcon of tablets , it launched with its hyperdrive sabotaged , but packing the hardware that it does , and  after making quite a few special modifications my scruffy looking nerf herding self , she's the fastest tablet in the galaxy... till i manage to stick an i7 mobo in there.....

Using tablets for a year now , I  moved past the bling and Starbuck posing of mine iPad 1/2, and have seen how gaming with  Windows 7 on a Tablet completely pwns gimped a phone OS like Android and iOS . You see Onlive , Gaikai ,Steam , browser based MMOS , and millions of full pc games are my app store....  My tablet is a desktop replacement , with no compromises . 

Seeing Crysis 2 , or Assassins Creed 2  , Batman Arkham , or playing my Steam collection  on a tablet  is slightly more impressive than waiting for my Infinity Blade App to update and run at that funny 1024 768 res..... 

The joy of playing full PC games on a tablet , there is no App for that

Live long and prosper!

get Star Trek Online
