I'm thinking a wireless touchpad might be easier on my wrist than a mouse, but a decent sized one not the size built into laptops. PC windows 7. Thinking of the logitech wireless USB, but it seems to have a few flaws. Don't know if there is something better quality that will work off a Win7 Pc - with only USB2 ports. But does have bluetooth.

A lot of people seem to like the apple magic trackpad. They say it works fine on a pc, other than needing to reboot it if you stop using it for a while. Since it has an off switch and comes on instantly that seems to be no big deal.

Typo, I had some severe RSI pain and went through several options before I found the answer for me [link]

I played with an ipad and the touch screen left me absolutely pain free. And it is not the keyboard. I can type for hours and be pain free. Using thm mouse is what hurts. I'm pretty sure that with my particular RSI (caused by my upper discs) that a tocuhpad will work.

I love Moves! And my phone has no security at all...I keep thinking I should fix that but then my lockscreen app (Cover) wouldn't work.

Argh - any Android peeps use CameraZoomFX? I accidentally reset the default save folder to the CameraZoom folder instead of just Photos and now I have about 15 pictures that won't auto-backup because they're in the wrong place.

I've switched the default save folder back now, but how do I move those 15 photos to the right folder for G+ to recognize and upload them?

[edit: nevermind, got it! I was looking for "Files" but app is called "My Files"]

Has anyone here had any good experiences with mobile printing/scanning?

I just bought a mobile hotspot to do work on the go, mostly in my car, but I need a printer and scanner that work well with my iPhone and Mac. I've been reading reviews but they seem all over the place. I guess I'd prefer 1 device but I'd be happy with two if they work well.

What level of scanning do you need? I use my ios device with PhotoToPDF app. Works fine for most things. Not as good as a flatbed scanner. But if it's just for your files, more than fine.

Dunno about mobile printing.

Omnis, I tried the photo option a few years ago (jot not, I think, was the app) but it always looked like id taken a picture of something. What I want is to be able to type, print, scan and email legal documents from my car. There are a lot of options out there but none seem to be consistently well reviewed.
