The amount of productivity that can be extracted from a mobile device these days is amazing, especially when you a primarily concerned with email, calendaring, contact management, and the like. I can do 99% of the communications I need from my phone. I bought my iPad for reading books and such, but I have found its form factor is very useful for reading long emails (esp HTML based) and webpages. Xoom form factor is similar, and Samsung is releasing some of a similar size as well. Maybe Jobs was right about that 7" form factor being a stinker... -- Kyle Gonzales [email protected] GPG Key #0x566B435B Read My Tech Blog: http://techiebloggiethingie.blogspot.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive http://marc.info/?l=jaxlug-list&r=1&w=2 RSS Feed http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.xml Unsubscribe [email protected]
