[NTLK] Mobiscribe Interest

[Anjan Katta]

Anyone have a YouTube video or blog post of what Einstein running on an Eink tablet is like?

I have a RLCD prototype tablet that I’d be interested to run Einstein on, not sure I’m technically skilled enough to figure out how to set up the emulator!

Best regards,
Anjan
