The issues might be:<BR/><BR/>- can you fit your toolset into the 4Gb version?<BR/>- will the screen size hinder you?<BR/><BR/>Screen size doesn't bother me because I'm using Vim. Sometimes I do lift the whole thing up to peer at, but I think that might be my age :)<BR/><BR/>I have got Java and Mono stacks on there, but it's mainly to test the code examples that I blog about.<BR/><BR/>I think you can buy RAM upgrades for the 4Gb version which would help. the internal flash drive is much faster than USB2.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!Julianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148753904642162513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30889085.post-56414489204921989672008-07-17T21:10:26.911+01:002008-07-17T21:10:26.911+01:00Julian, have you tried installing a modern Java IDE on it?<BR/>I am interested in those beasts in to do some personal coding.<BR/><BR/>So far, I have not found conclusive reports that it was possible to do reasonably normal Java coding on them.Eric Lefevrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18367395425122359912noreply@blogger.com
