eCo Software continues to sell Thinkpad notebooks with eComStation pre-installed.

We offer the range: Thinkpad T42 ... T61 + X61 Tablet and X41 ... X61 + X41 Tablet.

All notebooks are equipped with SSD disks and popular eCo Software applications:

* Sunny icons -- http://ecomstation.ru/sunnyicons

* DVD/CD Toys -- http://ecomstation.ru/dvdtoys

It’s not easy to sell eCS notebooks, we are missing some tools.

What applications are needed for the resellers of eComStation notebooks and barebones?

* Benchmark tools. The customers want see the comparison marks.

 * Good SysInfo utility. We have old SysInfo/2 only.

 * Demo applications aimed to demonstrate the power of the system.

(apps working in demo mode; video effects / slideshows enumerating eCS features)

 * Fullscreen launchpad. So novice user can launch standard application (email, browser or setup)

 * Simple system setup. Currently eCS setup utilities are located in different "corners" of the system.

The standalone developers can help to the resellers of eCS notebooks / barebones and develop additional tools.

More ideas for standalone developers: http://ecomstation.ru/ecolabs2/>
