For major stuff you COULD use X forwarding I suppose from a desktop machine.. I don't anymore though... I only use my tablet. Sometimes I go to the basement if my tablet is busy compiling or installing something but *shrug*.
Why? Because OO.o isn't made for the tablet. Its too bloated for that. So you use Abiword and Gnumeric as alternative, you live with the slow speed of the application, or you use a remote desktop to a server (which you already use for document editting). If you sit at Starbucks I hope they provide you WLAN access, if not there is 3G (which is a reason I'd like to have 3G).

8 years ago, 8 years ago. Nokia Communicator. Telnet and remote desktop, later PuTTy as well. After receicing SMS had to wake up early saturday morning to do some work on the AS/400. Over GPRS no less!! And this device had 24/7 connectivity. Don't give me any bullocks a mobile device shouldn't have 24/7 connectivity, or not aim at such.

WiMAX isn't rolled out well as we speak, and AFAIK the WiMAX edition is only for US market. Here, WiMAX is only rolled out in Amsterdam while 3G has almost 100% coverage (KPN, Vodafone)! Europe, in general, has good 3G coverage. WiMAX and LTE are new and still competing to see which one will be the next standard.
