I just bought a new PDA.

I could see you using that on an inspection The bonus would be you would have light in the crawlspaces.

Used a pda once. All the squinting had an adverse affect....ya think?

Very funny. Of course you're right, doesn't sound any different than Windows. I'll have to pass that one on, thanks

My biggest pet peeve about the tablet is the built in mouse (when in laptop mode). At first I wanted to scream at the thing, but after a while I got a bit better at using it. I'm getting more comfortable with it every day. Part of the problem is I keep switching back and forth between the tablet and my laptop, and I really should just use the tablet and put the laptop on the shelf.

HG 4 also has turned out to work great, has freed me to spend more time doing the inspection and less time documenting it, very nice improvement over their previous version. Anyone not using might want to check out the latest version.

Thanks Brian on the HomeGauge 4 plug! I have used Tablets for years and the touchpad mouse can get in my way (my thumbs) and if I am not careful can move the cursor to an area in the comment while I am typing. You can turn the pad off if it bothers you to much.

I was ordering some stuff on Newegg.com today and saw they sell UMPC's like the Q1 now. Check out http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCateg...tra-Mobile-PCs the page is loaded with every type of UMPC. Most have 7" screens, 1ghz processors and 40 gig hard drives.
