Think of tablets as half-duplex. They are media consumption devices, and the communication is mostly *to* the tablet. If you use a tablet, for the most part, you don't *do* text input. A touch screen interface is quite adequate to select media you want to consume. If you *do* need to do text input, that's what USB keyboards are for, and many tablets support them. I know a few writers that find an iPad and external keyboard a handy portable writing solution, much smaller and lighter than a laptop. ______ Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
