Just wondering for ideas for something that meets my needs.
I think that the first thing you need to do is to determine which type of device best suits your needs. The Android SSH client ConnectBot is quite good for what it does. But Android doesn't support task switching well and this limits the ability to do most things that you want to do, if you could have multiple SSH windows open on a tablet at once (and a 10" tablet with 2500*1400 screen is capable of that) then it would be a lot more usable. Also no matter what you do a tablet keyboard is going to suck a bit. A light device will have a poor keyboard, it's just a matter of engineering. The EeePC 701 was a great system for what it was, but the keyboard sucked. Have you looked at some of the recent small/light Thinkpads? They look very impressive.
Requirements:
* Must be lightweight - e.g my existing tablet is only 540g + keyboard. * Must have 4G data support (I think this rules out ASUS tablets).
It might be a little early in the discussion to talk about 3G/4G support, but why do you want 4G? I have great difficulty sticking within a 2GB/month data plan on 3G and I also don't generally have speed problems with 3G. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
