I've got a Motorola Droid Razr and I've played around with VNC for remoting into PCs and with the screen resolutions most people run, it's a pretty tedious experience.
However, there is an external keyboard/monitor unit for the Razr which is about the size of a 13" laptop but much lighter. They were selling it for about $200. I guess it really depends on how much remoting you do and whether the Razr would do everything you'd need. Cheaper than a laptop and no additional data costs. ---------------------- Bob Hartung Dir of I.T.

As a SMB consultant I have been slow to adopt a smartphone/tablet as I have few enough clients that it’s been a non-issue. With my phone now acting up (I’ve had it over two years and am eligible for a discounted upgrade from Verizon) it’s time for a re-evaluation. I use LogMeIn as my remote access solution, and it would be handy to have access to it whenever I have cell service. The question is, any reason NOT to get 4G for the simple convenience of a mobile hotspot? Is the Android OS enough of a security concern to justify going with the evil empire Apple iOS? Anyone else recently go through this?
