This has been a very good discussion. My son has several tablet like devices, one runs Win7, so we uploaded the complied database from work. It ran ok, but typing used the built in keyboard which I found to be awful for any significant time. For getting messages and sending quick email responses it was fine. Adding several paragraphs to a report was not fun. My error rate shot way up. Screen was small but readable. There would have to be significant form editing to be better. As others have said for reviewing/looking up info, these things work very well. For creating/data entry, a 2 pound ultra light with a full keyboard would probably be cheaper in dollars and frustration. Did the same thing on a small Asus (must have been a netbook, did not pay close attention) also running Win 7 with a keyboard. So much better that I would not even bother with the tablet. Have to admit though, the entire process is far better than my CPM Kaypro from many years ago.
