Kindle Fire HDX and other tablets?

[OakLeaf]

Well, I wasn't talking about an iPad as a complete computing solution. Only for something to take out of the home/office.

Now, granted I've been doing this since it was an infrared connection between my Palm device and a folding keyboard ... and another infrared connection between my Palm and my flip phone to get 57,600 internet. But to me, even that was preferable than hauling a laptop everywhere (which in those days, laptops weighed a whole lot more, too). And it still would've been an IR connection to a flip phone to get internet!

DocumentsToGo does an adequate job of being able to edit WP and spreadsheet files on the go, and transfer them back and forth, IME. The main reason for that is that it's compatlble with MS Office, which I don't know ANYONE who understands how that klunky, counterintuitive, useless interface became the office document standard, over beauties like Nisus Writer ... I have to think that the day is pretty close when we'll have a full-featured tablet office suite and everyone will be able to shove that MS nonsense ...

As far as screen resolution, tablets have all but the highest-end laptops beat. It's incredible stuff.



ETA ... that just reminds me of Monday when DH took a picture of me handing the One Run baton off to the next runner. She said, "What did we do before our iPhones?" I said, "Well, he used to have to wait for prints and haul a flatbed scanner everywhere." The woman is just looking at us like, "dude, it was a rhetorical question ..."
