Staples ad in today’s paper also shows a viewsonic wi-fi Android 2.2. based tabet, 10.1” screen for $400 … I have zero experience with this brand model so I have no factual opinion to help. But maybe worth a look. 3G USB dongles from providers probably better than integrated as they are portable among devices anyway.

And most of those that do don’t support using VPN’s or are filtered etc.. Its real hard to find one that has the fluidness of the IPAD, battery life, etc…Its cost is just ridiculous and so many of my people are Android phones they don’t want to repurchase their apps. I am getting a demo of the Dell Duo, but I have been told its not as good as the videos out there show it to be. They are not wanting a Windows 7 tablet, as they want the ease of use of Android, with just an RDP app to their TS. Greg Sweers CEO <http://www.acts360.com/> ACTS360.com P.O.

The keyboard on the IPAD is really good, and the Bluetooth add on KB works pretty decent. The Doctors like the IPAD, but the practice does not want to spend 800 a device. Swappable battery would be HUGE! Anyone have comparisons or used alternatives that might meet this application. The Verizon tablet may be a good fit, but the smaller screen is not high up there with the DOCS. Thx Greg Sweers CEO <http://www.acts360.com/> ACTS360.com P.O.
