OK, for those of you who attended my robotics talk, you know that I have
an aging HP pavilion laptop. I'll probably buy a new laptop soon, but
for portable use, I think laptops are too big. I'm looking for a tablet.
No, I don't want an iPad.
Anyway, does anyone have any experience with any of the android tablets
out there? What about NextBook? The Viewsonic?
Also, I've seen Intel Atom based tablets that claim to run Android? I
thought Android is currently only available for ARM processors?
Should I wait for a few more months until better ones become available?
My wish list is.....
WiFi - A Must
Linux Access - I have to be able to get below the Android front to run
ssh and stuff.
full Linux tool set - Whether I have to put it on an SD card or what
ever, I want to be able to use the standard Linux tools.
better than 800x600 video.
USB ports, both device and host.
SD ports, preferably two.
Headphone jack
Wired networking - good to have but not needed
Any suggestions?
