I've been through all sorts of devices. 1, 2, 3 device solutions etc.

For real heavy duty work, I need the laptop, period. Why ? a full size screen. Not 4 not 5 not 7 inches (yes I can think of those jokes as well) but a full sized screen.

Keyboard, well an external bluetooth one could sort that.

After that, there is the issue of cpu power.

But all the above except the screen size, I reckon could be dealt with by using remote access.

This was one of my main drivers for getting a Tablet.

I've tried Sony Vaio UXs, OQOs, Nokia Communicators, HTC Universals and all sorts of others.

In the end, I figured. Why carry it all with you. Just get a decent sized screen in a slim form factor, anytime internet, leave the PC at home/office and use remote access.

Things like Video and Audio won't really work well, so you need that to be portable and of course you still need to be able to make calls.

So I think something like an N810 + a Mobile work perfectly well together. Otherwise, you are looking at miniture screens.

What I would like to see though is something like the N810 with a tough 5 to 6 inch edge to edge screen. I guess it's a case of waiting for the tech to catch up.

Also, with good handwriting input. As in vista ink input level with very easy corrections etc. (If you have never tried it, you should take a look. I was stunned at how good it was).

Not got the remote acces working quite right by the way. Still playing with ssh and port forwarding.

Also, a problem I found was that upload speed from home is still a bottleneck unless you pay alot for your broadband...
