the tablet war is heating up

[MarauderX]

No, you're thinking of something else. HP produced one Windows tablet which was such a piece of junk that they only made 5,000 of them; that's long gone.

HP's tablets moving forward, including this one, run WebOS, the renamed and updated Palm OS. No Microsoft Office here.

No, I'm not talking about the Slate. I've seen the demoes in person and the new one looks like I will be making documents that can be transferred, which is a real hardship for the iPad. I suppose we will see everything it can and can't do soon.

I have an Android question? Can you run silverlight? such as the character builder on the WOTC website?

I think the moonlight devs might be working on something or have something? I don't have an Android tablet though, so I don't keep up with that platform well.

There's certainly no official Silverlight runtime for Android at the moment.

As I understand it, Moonlight doesn't work with the character builder, so an Android port of Moonlight wouldn't help.

so no tablet right now can just log into wotc website and run character builder. I guess that only leaves logging into a computer with a tablet to run it.
Now what I have been able to find out about silverlight that will change with silverlight 5. But the question remains will Wotc upgrade to Silverlight 5 or ignore us tablet users?

That's not actually new news considering that the whole Adobe vs Apple feud was because Adobe was making a as3 to Objective C- converter for FlashBuilder 5 and Apple got pissed.

Adobe has really been coming up with ways to convert as3 files to pretty much everything.

I want them to convert as3 to bacon.

 

[falcarrion]

I want them to convert as3 to bacon.

Bacon?

 

[Relique du Madde]

Bacon?

By definition AS3 is already bacon, just not sliced. ;D

That is assuming he isn't talking about that Basic to C converter... cause then it would be .As BaCon.

I've been reading that Motorola has released the Honeycomb 3.1 update that includes microSD support, for European customers.

Motorola... How I loath you.
