John,

I just can not see myself being 'functionally efficient' with a single
device, be it Android or whatever. sure, the switching to an app whilst on
the phone works well, no problems

[though, I just dicovered my 'replacment Atrix' has prox sensor broken,
causes issues, as, need to hit power to wake up screen aways from face,
real PITA, I think new phone is needed (also, camera's cooked...)]

I often need to enter information consistsing of date(s), time(s),
address, plus, plus, plus (if only they would send this as an email...)

items that I find repetitive, I have in DatBk template, and, I try to
deleted unwanted leaving only one..

having stylus to drag across multiple lines to delete unwanted..

also, made a pick lists in SmartList, that was probably most efficient, I
should look at it again

and, it's already hard enough holding a phone whilst entering stuff single
handed, steadying device with an elbow

I now have three A gadgets, Atrix 4", Nexus 7", Xoom 10"; even I was to
use Android only, I'd still want a phone device and another one, for
lookup/entry

but, when I switch to A, I'd want all my devices synched seemlesly (which
I guess means GCalendar for sync ?), I just, conceptually, do not want to
have to press a 'sync' buttons. I mean, my PC PIM in the 90ies synched my
laptop/desktop/home PC with no input from me, my stuff, as well as
co-workers (Relish LAN)

I think, I'll need 3 gadgets looking forward, anyhow:
no matter how you cut it, 7" is more efficient than 4/5%, *and*, Nexus7
fits in a jacket pocket (if a jacket is worn..);
but, 10" is better at home than 7"

btw, do you know of any way to map screen shot on N7 to a long press key;
I find simultaneous power/volume PITA, on Xoom, long press on 'recent' i
mapped to s/hot, not sure howto do same on N7. someone just suggested
"Xposed Framework", just looking at that


Hapy New Year ! in 8 1/2 hours
