Cumulus work ok on tablet?

Post by Joe Weather Nut »

Not a Cumulus question directly. What with many of the new tablets out there being pretty cheap, I thought I'd go with a tablet that I could leave running 24/7 without worrying about lightening strikes, etc taking out my expensive super duper pc.

So, has anyone run Cumulus on a tablet, and if so, did the basic tablet to the job?

I don't know much if anything about tablets, but Cumulus has reasonably low requirements, so if they run Windows and have the appropriate interfaces, I think it should be OK.

You can add the new 'Acer Iconia W500 Windows' tablet (running under either Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Professional) to the list of tablets Steve pointed you to.

Looks like lots of bucks or so. Maybe I'll just go with a netbook.

Thanks all for the suggestions.
