“I have written a number of articles concerning mobile
technology in smartphones and tablets. This time, however, I’d like
to focus on writing about using this technology in a real world
environment. It is axiomatic that you should write about what you
know. Well, I am a network systems administrator, so I will discuss
the use of a Android tablet as a tool for sysadmins.“Recently I wrote about attempting to purchase a Samsung Galaxy
Tab from T-mobile. I had decided to wait until the next generation
of Android tablets with dual core CPUs and the next iteration of
Android before making a purchase. As my wife is fond of quoting
Ralph Waldo Emerson: “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of
little minds.” Therefore, I chose to be inconsistent and went to my
local T-mobile store to purchase a Tab.“Using a tablet takes a bit of getting used to; however, since
it runs the same version of Android found on my T-mobile G2
smartphone it was a fairly easy adjustment. I prefer the 7-inch
tablet format as it is large enough to be convenient where a
smartphone is too small, and small enough so that it is not
uncomfortable to hold for extended periods as 10-inch tablets
appear to be.”
