Re: How is Dia running on an Android/Ubuntu tablet?
Hi Michael, good to have some feedback from you! After a thorough research I came to the conclusion that tablet is not a good tool for programmers. I will still buy one maybe later, but only for consuming content, not producing it.

I often need to pound out 1500 words of content in a day writing books or web articles. Good luck doing that on a handheld. One could argue that you could use a docking station for the handheld, but in that case, programs like Dia needn't be modified at all, because you're really just making your handheld into a desktop computer with a full screen and a full keyboard and mouse.
