I'm curious about how many other people have gone totally mobile. In May of 2008 I was relieved of my beloved MacBook Pro, which I was probably way too attached to. Rather than being angry or very sad, as I expected to be, I found myself /relieved/. I suddenly had lots of free time to do many other things I never seemed to manage to do before. Since it wasn't yet possible to get insurance for a stolen computer I was unable to afford a new one and eventually replaced it with a really crappy used computer. I was even more relieved when /that computer/ just stopped working. Since then I've been using an iPod Touch (not updated or changed much since 2010--That'd require a computer :P). I've also gotten some used smartphones from people no longer using them, and bought an unlocked Android phone about seven months ago. The online world hasn't yet fully adapted to this mobile technology, but I know it will. Have you?

Re: Going Mobile
#2Whilst the power of some smartphones is satisfactory for general work, I find the screen size to be the biggest issue. I still prefer to work on 14+ inch screens. The other issue is that a full-size keyboard is much more convenient as well.
I have tried using an Android phone, BT keyboard and HDMI monitor together. Whilst it is doable, a ChromeBook (in developer mode) is far more practical for me.
