In a few months, after we get the web-based electronic medical records systems running at my wife's new office, we will deploy a few tablet computers. I would like a camera (for scanning QR codes and photographing skin conditions), some kind of text data entry, secure communications, and some form of authentication and time-out, so that if the tablet is left lying about without activity it will lock, awaiting a password or some kind of biometric to unlock. Wifi, locked to a single encrypted access point, no phone.
Probably some kind of Android tablet. Amazon just announced the $200 Kindle Fire, based on Android - while that probably has the appropriate hardware, it may be locked as a walled garden media platform. Probably too early to say what the Fire will permit. If dear reader learns more about the implementation and linux usability of this device, please share your discoveries on this list. Other suggestions welcome - spending a few hundred dollars extra for something that is Just Right would be fine.
