Thanks, E...

Fwiw, I Searched for 'tablet vs laptop', and read a few links.
Other than size, (which is not an issue in using my laptop), I'll take a
Pasadena for awhile...

I'm still on the fence for a smart phone, as I used my 5 yr old cell phone
about a dozen times last year.

This Retired Bumdom life has slightly different 'needs' than you young bulls and bullettes, out there in the fast paced world of 'commerce'.

I replicate my PC to a NAS device using Goodsync and then I can access the NAS over the web using FTP or Web Browser. Means I can get all my files at home wherever I am in the world.

My way of looking at an IPad...

I want to buy one so I can teather it to my cell phone and stick it (because of it's great size/packaging) in the back pocket of my front passenger seat. Then as my friends and I are traveling, it will be easy for the back seat passenger to use the pad to look up and make reservations for dinner/hotel/ballgames/etc... as we are traveling across the country.

It's also the best way to surf the net while on the throne if you are tired of the Sunday newspaper...

The i pone/droid screen is too small, and a lap top is not practical and maybe even a little dangerous for that purpose with the potential for snapping shut etc..

Now, whether or not this 'pleasure' is worth a few hundo is debatable.


...jes sayin'

Due to throne surfing safety issues noted above - iPad for the win!

With a smart phone you can track your stock portfolio and trade while still out chasing the ball.

Sort of part & parcel of why I have resisted a smart phone; after being tied to a car phone/cell phone since its early inception in the early 80s, I don't feel the need to 'walk around' staring at apps. I spend considerable time on our computers at home...I don't feel the need to be driving/walking, doing fun outside stuff and staring down at some damn gadget that is 'connected' to the web.

Retired bumdom is a very different pace and has less rigorous requirements, imo; at least for me.

'Trade'?! I have stops/sell points in on every stock I own in both taxable and non-tax accounts. Trading is for dart throwers and people that think they can beat or best the Mkt.
