Telstra Bedside : Flaws and Future.

SPEED: Okay. Stutters with YouTube. Even below 480p. 480p should be fine for the screens made for 480p!

PHONE: Works great! You don't need the "Ext" for anything except Helpdesk calls.
Only flaw? 13 calls to Telstra fail to work.

TOUCHSCREEN: Bearable. Simple one finger touch, which makes the on screen keys a pain in the arse. Way better to use the...

PHYSICAL KEYS: GREAT! Top row not activated yet, but the rest work fine. The whole lot I've written on the system is on it. Turns behind screen and fold-locks behind it! Screen and keys have grabbing bars to adjust angle of screen and keys' placement.

Future addditions seem to be:

- Remote Control (unless leftover and unneeded like the cam panel up top)
- SIM chip credit card slot (for payment for phone etc.)
- Barcode reader (for patient wristbands and stickers)

The system is still new (and had a flaw that let me open new windows in IE last visit - fixed now) but is promising. Especially once the NBN is used and doctors can use it in medical ways like heart monitoring.

It definitely beats the old system.
(Although curious why Telstra charges for basic FTA TV when in an older interview they said that would be free and the rest would cost...)
