Nailed it from top to bottom. That's about the time I noticed that I no longer felt the need to upgrade. And, yeah, tablets feel very constrained for creation

Nailed it from top to bottom.
That's about the time I noticed that I no longer felt the need to upgrade.
And, yeah, tablets feel very constrained for creation. It is a consumption device. Perfect term. I am typing on a Galaxy Tab now, and after over a year, it still drives me slightly nuts to type more than a couple sentences; not to mention the thought of actually designing or developing on this thing.
Maybe that will change as new input devices and peripherals are developed. But, at some point if it evolved enough in that direction, then it would no longer be a tablet per se, but more a PC in a different form factor.

- pekk 14y agoDid you ever develop things on a phone before?
- azernik 14y agoI don't think he's talking about actually developing on a phone interface; he's talking about the likelihood of this [1] happening on an Ubuntu phone.
