Are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced?

So gang, tell me --

1) anyone have experience with a Chromebook? Thumbs up, down, sidewways?

2) anyone have experience with wrist-carried heart rate monitors? Am particularly interested in those using a chest-strap.

3) anyone have experience with Android tablets?

TIA!

Android Tablet

[andyfunk.org (by livejournal.com)]

I have a Toshiba Thrive tablet running Android (Honeycomb), and I'm very happy with it. What do you want to know, Steve?

A few highlights:

full-size SD card
standard USB, mini-USB, and HDMI ports
removable battery
WiFi (no cellular data)
bluetooth (mouse, keyboard, etc.)
plastic, grip-surface back cover

While the app selection is smaller than that for the iPad, it is still extensive and continually growing.

Some posters to Thrive forums online have found they can leave their laptop behind, as they've found Android apps to do everything they need (email; MS Word, Excel & PowerPoint; browsers; ebooks; etc.),

Personally I use the Kindle app on my tablet when I'm out and about, and keep my Kindle itself by my bed for evening reading (I prefer reflected illumination at night). And I find a third-party keyboard app superior to the standard keyboard. That's one of the strengths of 'droid -- if you don't like something you can probably find a replacement you'll be happier with.

Drop me an email if I you have any questions for me.
