Bluetooth, but that's a whole nother can of worms...

While tablets, etc., are good for monitoring developed applications, I just
don't see them as ready for developing applications on.

There is a branch of the Harbour Project called xHarbour (and Visual

Many POS (point-of-sales) systems run on standalone PCs. But now we got
