Comment Android Tablets Not Premature for our Project (Score 1) 480

My mass transit agency client was quite happy to replace their mouldering Palm VIII devices with Archos 32 mini tablets. The former were deployed on a U.S. federally mandated passenger survey system that I created years ago. These inexpensive PDA successors have been a pleasure to use. Some of the older surveyors would probably appreciate the larger size of the Archos 43; however, transit agency budgets are tight these days.

Not having (or desiring ... yet) a full-grown mass-consumer tablet, I cannot comment on whether current Android tablet offerings are iPad killers. For my own software development business reasons, I just want to keep having the option of buying and deploying Android mini-tablets for the kinds of business applications that made PDAs essential for many enterprises. This is a fruitful sector to mine.
