I like the sound of it, and would have loved to play with one, but the concept of a unified device failed my requirements big time. Great for carrying around, but a unified device has one major flaw - it is one device. I have enough problems when a customer phones me on my mobile and information I need to access could easily be accessed - from my mobile, but I can't because it is being a phone at the time! In that case I need a separate laptop or netbook. When I'm out an about I rarely if ever have access to a spare screen, keyboard and mouse to attach to, so that side of things is of little use - again a laptop or netbook is more practical. When in the office I have a desktop PC. I sometimes consider running just a laptop, but can't quite leave the convenience and expandability of the desktop at the moment - almost, but not quite, especially with the state of laptop keyboards and longevity of batteries. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 ============================================================================= Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Ralls House, Parklands Business Park, Forrest Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6XP -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
