Full desktop web browser. I guess a lot of e-learning web sites are targeted at the desktop, even if touch optimised.

With my work I visit people in their homes and it is remarkable how many have an echo or Google home and are using it. I don't sell double glazing.
Palm may be dead - but the form factor and utility lives on in our mobiles. Psion style devices may make a comeback but the reality is ultrabooks do the same job.
Frustrating. Chrome OS is not ready for full time Touch (I have a Flip - almost a usable Tablet). Android cannot yet handle the full Chrome experience with extensions or a touch pad.
Without a touch pad this is not great for RDP. Although it will run Android Office Apps it won't work with 365, or full Google Apps.
This should have been running Chrome OS - but Chrome OS is not ready.
Windows Mobile is Windows Mobile. It is not iPhone.
As I use the voice navigation of Tom Tom running in the background whilst looking at live sat imagery in Google maps whilst streaming music over 3g off my home media server whilst I download my imap email, I know I am a Windows Mobile geek!
So what that it takes me twice as long to input an appointment on the Touch Pro than it did on my Treo 680. So what that the music skips from time to time?
Jack of all trades ... Nobody loves it, but many of us love what we can do with it.
Still a pity that SE couldn't quite get this device right. Sounds like Touch Flo is better as a front end than the Sony offering.
PIM.
We know that PalmOS still has the easiest to use, WM is powerful but clunky, S60 is lagging behind and UIQ is a bit odd, but it would be nice with a new Smartphone review to know how the PIM applications stack up and what sync options exist.
Oh and does it thread text messages. I don't think I could live without that in a work environment where texting is as common as email.
At last text rendering works. I can actually try the browser now.
However the window still doesn't behave like a, er, window. I use tile windows vertically on my wide-screen monitor on a regular basis. Web Page on the left, Word Document on the right. Not an option with Safari. There are also some minimising issues with minimise all or show desktop. It won't go down to my Rocket Dock set up.
