Android MAME with online scoreboard, for all

Paul Olson:

I plan to get the ASUS Infinity 700 whenever it comes out. I will try it out then.

I won't be getting rid of laptops or desktops anytime soon. I mainly use tablets as ebook readers, and haven't found a lot of use for them outside of that. The real ereaders are too small. I think the 10" tablets are just barely big enough.
I kept getting bigger laptops until I found a screen size that I like. My laptop has a 18.5" screen, and it is pleasant to use. I still use a 24" monitor with it when I am at home.

Phones are getting better. My current phone has a 4.5" screen, and there are one or two coming out at the end of the year with 5" screens.

Small is good for most computer components, but I think I will always want a large display.

I think that people who use PCs for more than checking email and social media networks will always opt to use their PCs. I was chugging along my recording studio on a pentium 4 3.2 for way longer than I should have, and last year it died and in a rage I went out and bought something awesome. And I am so glad I did. You just don't get that kind of functionality on a phone [yet], and even if I did screen space is a big deal to me. Not to mention i/o.

But for the most part I think you're right. The average everyday person has a phone and whips it out mid conversation to check their email, facebook and reply to text after text for 10 minutes [usually when a 2 minute phone call would have sufficed.] Typing skills have gone down the drain as well as punctuation and grammar.
