Quote from: Mark Harrison on August 10, 2011, 07:25:48 PMThat's funny. One of my teammates here at work is currently on a 4 week vacation to Germany (his son is playing German pro football; American football) and he's a total workaholic. Always takes his laptop wherever he goes, puts in 50-60 hour work weeks just because, etc. Anyway, he's gone for a month and only took his iPad with him. While I won't need to use it for work, I totally can see that. E-mail is obvious, then there is programs for spreadsheets or text documents, presentations... Just like Sebstien pointed out, longer typing session directly with the onscreen keyboard can get tiresome.

Not sure about the actual screen size of your device (unless I just overread it ), but even the iPad is still recognized as mobile device by many websites, even though it basically has full resoultion (1024x768). I usually switch to the normal site then, especially as I can easily zoom in at any spot I may need to.
Ahh...but can you upload DVDP to Android?
I could see using one of the tablet things for a few online things..check email and stuff like that... I would never think to try typing up a review on one or something like that. While I still don't know a lot about these things, I've never thought they would replace a laptop.
This is the key, knowing what you need a certain device for.
What the heck is a virtual machine? I read something recently about work switching to that over the next several years..supposed to save on computer costs or something. But I don't get what it is.
