ok and it does not help that am doing this on the road most of the time. At least i can report to the folks that the tablet is a viable development platform. The only realistic configuration for development is the Motion M1300 or the Toshiba Portégé 3500 Convertible Tablet PC which are both fairly expandable. Using any thing else is painful. I will do the specs for my on the road dev system later, right now they need to close the Borders on 32nd St and 2nd Ave in Manhattan and that was the dev location this evening....yes on ther road you need some kind of broadband access...am doing t-mobile
