Re: Tablet Suggestions
TLK, when I say productive, I’m thinking of the following use cases:
carry the device with me to a meeting and take notes,
hook it up to a projector/TV and run a presentation,
edit a word document while listening to music on the bus/train,
video conferencing with colleagues.
Most of these use cases require true multitasking which the IPad does not support at the moment - partly due to it’s OS and partly due to the hardware memory limitation of 512 MB.
On the applications front, I’m a heavy user of mind mapping software apps online that require flash, so I can’t use the iPad. Lastly, I personally don’t find the IPad to be all that portable either and am looking for a somewhat smaller form factor where I can use my thumbs to type while holding the device in landscape mode.
