Wyse pocketcloud or 2cx rdp for Android work much better than Microsoft's RDP 
android app.  Go figure:)

I do have unlimited data with my phone,  I use either usb bt or wifi tether (it 
is actually alot faster than my cable modem at home) I can pull up to 30/15 
using the phones internet. 

I have the citrix receiver on my galaxy phone- and I get frustrated using rdp.

I def like the physical keyboard

I use a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet (Note to be confused with the Galaxy 
Tab unit)
Got the unit with the 32 GB of storage internal and supports up to 32 GB on a 
Mini-SD Card. It comes with a Stylus. I have the Wi-Fi unit, but it would be 
better if you could get one through your cell phone provider, (Verizon, ATT, 
etc.,) so you have Broadband Access. Battery also last for about 8 hours. It 
can be fully recharge in under 2 hours.

I use mine with Citrix, GoToAssist, and Microsoft Remote Desktop. Microsoft 
does have an app for Remote Desktop for the Android. Thre are some other good 
apps for remote access on the Android.

I also bought an external blue-tooth keyboard with mouse pad, under $40, that 
has a nice leather case. The keyboard is connected via magnets to the inside of 
the portforlio case. Works quite well. 

With the Samsung software, that come with the device, you can connect, 
wirelessly, to a Smart TV and play your videos. The newer 2014 Edition of this 
device has HDMI Support and a has a higher resolution screen. It has 32GB of 
memory, internal, and supports up to 64GB with a Mini-SD Card. It also has 
Dolby 5.1. :) (Guess what I'm going to get for xmas, this year. ;) )

My .03 cents, worth.

Hi all,

As I enter my new phase of "consulting only" I was wondering what most of you 
out there prefer to use and any recommendations would be appreciated. 

And tethering is a MUST 
I need something that will work in the.cold (I do alot of skiing in the winter) 
work in the heat as nyc can get really hot and humid (91 degrees at the moment) 
and at least 4-5 hrs of battery life.

Weight is a factor too as I will be using the subway system frequently. 

All my clients are running 2008/2012 servers-win 7 /8 and  remote access via 
gotoassist , citrix and or rdweb
.
Definitely am used to a physical keyboard , not sure about going touch screen 
only (but not willing try)

And would like to stay in the realm of 1000 USD

Any thoughts are welcomed
