As I said in my original post "the screen is a bit tiny", for me that implied that no one is going to do serious work on a phone size device, but that's going to be different for tablets. On the phone it's nice to show some schematics / layouts to friends (if you don't have your laptop with you :-) ) and using a stylus to draw lines in pcb works well. So lets wait for affordable tablets with sufficient size, at least the processor architecture is no concern. There were rumors in a german newsticker that Intel is going to announce a tablet with MeeGo in June with availability 3Q. - -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen Dietmar Schmunkamp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1FpfEACgkQn22l+QvEah3g4wCfeWyKzkCMMubkp6Iz7RLoyTT8 ZLwAn0WfL+eR+0xoeFo99YPZEMEMAxLR =a07B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
