Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Here it is, Gris.

I have just about everything on that list that works for Honeycomb. Some of them (like mint) I just don't want to run on my phone when I could be running it on my tablet. Which is non-productive and petty, but there you have it.

I would also add Grocery IQ for shopping list management. I just noticed they have a tablet version...time to install!

Oh, and I mostly do my app searching on market.android.com, because that way I can find out explicitly if it exists, even if it isn't compatible with either of my devices. And then I can push the install from there to either device even if I browsed there from my laptop or desktop. It's cool as hell.

Some buffistas recced Jaguar for low end web hosting. Unfortunately, there are several hosting services called Jaguar. Which is the one ita ! uses for low end stuff.

Gris,

I use google to search lifehacker. I would put in the google box: site:lifehacker.com best android apps

that might get you what you need in the future.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

So, I'm thinking about buying an iPad. I need something that will travel, so I was originally thinking a netbook, but it occurred to me that the iPad would be a great way to keep (and annotate) reference books that I might need in my new job. But, maybe another tablet or computer?

Thoughts?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

are you interested in reading or do you need to do a lot of typing/editing?

If you need the latter, I would recommend a light laptop. If you are primarily going to read, watch media, then the ipad is perfect. The ipad is not ideal if you have a lot of editing to do.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I will be getting a laptop from work, so I will have something if I need to do editing/typing.

On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy. IJS.

Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) looks sweet (NPI). I hope my G2 gets it.
