asys3,
sounds like a nice way to work.
I currently carry liqbase around on the drive and do all compilation directly from it onboard, or connect via ssh for a full editing session from a big computer.
What upsets me most about this device are programs written for the desktop running on the tablet.
The form factor is wrong and an interface which "works" with a mouse falls down horribly on the device.
the inverse is also true and when we start to plug touch specific applications onto a big screen you will see for yourself.
(liqbase on a 17inch monitor is awful to use with a mouse and the size of the buttons makes the pointer tremble!)
I wonder how this problem will be resolved in newer more touch friendly devices come around offering tv out capabilities?
