I've encountered heaps of them in my research. As to tablets not being suited to all computing work, that's correct. They were never designed to handle everything although what they were designed for they do very well:) There can also be some variation in the way IPads and some android devices handle some animated features on html5 sites due to the way they process the jquery libraries.

1358270	2013-11-02 08:03:00	They were never designed to handle everything although what they were designed for they do very well Thats very true. What Microsoft is attempting to do is have a variety of products, all using the same OS, all able to do the same thing no matter where they are, at a office desk, at a cafe or some other location. If you think about it, thats what Windows 8 is, the same OS and programs on a Desktop PC, Laptop or Tablet. (They openly have stated that numerous times) The exception there is the Windows 8 Tablets and Windows RT. Spose there has to be "the poor cousin" somewhere (RT) At the moment no one is actually doing that. Sure Apple have MAC's with iOS, iphones and ipads, but they all work differently, the ipad and iphone are about as close to one another as it gets.	wainuitech (129)

I would say that the Android market would have to collapse in order for MS to succeed into 2nd place. Of course anything is possible :) The iPhone and iPad OS was essentially redesigned as a standalone system that connects to the Mac OS.	Webdevguy (17166)
1358272	2013-11-02 23:10:00	Isn't this the end goal for Microsoft and Apple? To have a universal OS for all devices with all (or most) of the storage in the cloud. Mavericks and Win8 both show the trend. In the end tablets will be the new laptops. I'll still own a desktop though :)	Nerdtastic (16693)

I still own and work off my desktop computer. I use my partners laptop when I need to be mobile and I regularly use my iPhone and our iPad for testing websites that I'm building.	Webdevguy (17166)
1358274	2013-11-03 04:24:00	in particular I'd say the toy OS is the one that is a big phone that all the sheep are using Here's some "sheep" aka a lot of tradespeople doing some real work on the run - (also known as running their small businesses, invoicing clients and booking and recording jobs etc) from the new app GeoOp. Not sure if its out on Android yet but its certainly out on iPhone. www.3news.co.nz	Webdevguy (17166)

Its nothing that Microsoft ,Apple & google aren't already doing, and capable of doing with programs already in place and working.	wainuitech (129)

True although not sure how many of those programs that are already in place have been customised specifically for ease of use on a smart phone.	Webdevguy (17166)
1358277	2013-11-03 06:59:00	We have Win 8.1 at work and also a Samsung tablet/laptop similar to the Asus prime (detachable keyboard) running Win 8 as well and it actually works very well. We use it when meeting clients to discuss their kitchens so we can record what they want in our database	gary67 (56)

We use it when meeting clients to discuss their kitchens so we can record what they want in our database Sounds like a good way to do things from a "show new design options perspective". Do you use it for invoicing and job tracking as well or is that done separately?	Webdevguy (17166)
