I make this post as an inquiry into what Most of the Doctors and Science Field people like myself use as Tech devices for info management. For me, I have a Nook Color Tablet, Kindle Fire Tablet-Ereader, a Sony daily edition Pearl-Ink ereader for DOD and Military files, 3 Desktop computer systems, 1-Windows 7 super system 6 core monster, second system Dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux, and third system windows 7, also I have an Apple Mac Book Pro 13 inch Laptop, and can use parallels windows-emulation software in coherence mode. I skipped an Ipad due the kindle fire, and Mac book pro, I think these devices serve me well, and I use mostly the kindle fire, and Mac book pro when traveling around. What does everyone else have, and how does it serve your needs? DuaneF |

I go with iPhone, 15 inch Macbook Pro and that is pretty much it for everything. I'm sure there is a place for a tablet in there somewhere eventually, and I'm toying with the idea of a Kindle for leisure reading. |

I bought my son a 3G Kindle for last Christmas. By some sleight of computer keyboard, I ordered two! Now, I had scorned the Kindle! Why take a device costing more than £100 with you on journeys, to read on train or beach, when losing a paperback that cost less than £10 would be less painful? O ye of little knowledge! I did not know that this device can surf the Internet (well, crawl it), receive my daily newspaper before the paper boy can get it to my door, and even play music! I can also read and add notes to the document I'm reading, look up unfamiliar words as I go, and all for much less than the, ahem, rather flashy and heavier iPhone. Ok, I'm a convert, wouldn't be without it now. Quite apart from being much easier to slip under some notes on the anesthesia machine if I want to pretend I'm absorbed in my anaesthesia record, it allows me to read doc2doc in theatre! Still can't post ,but that is merely a technical problem, along with the fact that it cannot receive the Guardian crossword! Solve those, and find a way of uploading documents, papers, admin to it, and IMHO this device is the nearest and cheapest we have got to the Dynabook (QV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynabook) John PS Oh, and I'd like a way to upload some other images to the 'screen saver'. Virginia Woolf and Jules Verne are great, but Emily Dickinson's portrait is amateur, and it would rather have say Dickens. J. |
