ConnectBot, at least last version I looked at, intercepts a number of
keystrokes with no way of disabling - iirc alt+key are all intercepted.
Good for a limited soft keyboard, not so good if you have a hardware
keyboard and actually need to send those combinations through.

JuiceSSH is much better at this, all key strokes get passed correctly to
the server, but its management of ssh-keys is poor. ssh-agent forwarding is
silently enabled with no way of disabling. If you click the checkbox to
save the ssh key password it permanently saves it with no option to delete
it. I don't think it is possible to change the password on an existing key.

3G would probably be just as good. At one stage I was under the impression
that 4G deals better with network congestion, and I do deal with congested
areas (e.g. near Richmond station during peak travel periods). Not sure if
this is actually the case or not.


Getting back on topic, what series of Thinkpads are you looking at? I had a
look at some of the X-series, they seem expensive (>=$1,899) and not as
light as I hoped (>=1.31 kg).
