Don't think you'll enjoy running visual studio on an RT. You'd wait for the Surface Pro version, I believe.

You can remote desktop to a development machine with it, however.

 

I didnt think visual studio would run at all on arm devices?

It seems that I am one of the few that is getting excited about the new hardware, I really cannot decide what to get! The Dell and Surface systems look very good!

Im 99% decided on getting a Win RT device as I think that the x86 hardware will be more expensive and have worse battery life and also be heavier and hotter. Not sure how true this assumption is. However the 1% thinks it would be good to run visual studio on a tablet so a hard choice!

Can I use a 64gb micro sd to bump up my storage capacity as i have music, movies and books that I like to carry with me? Do all apps access the sd card as part of the file system?

I noticed that my app is compatible with phone 7,5 AND 8 so I assume that this will be available for  8 phones at launch.

However, it is frustrating not to have the skd before the phone is out.

The upgrade wizard is only offering me the option to "Keep nothing".

Goggling seems to suggest that I can move the files in my documents to a backup folder on the same drive and all other settings and applications will be preserved.

Can anyone advise if this is the case please?

Although having multiple monitors an a powerful pc is the ultimate win in theory, I find that I am more creative with a laptop on a comfy seat.

I have a history of Windows devices spanning CE 2.0 devices, various windows phones and a Samsung q1 - so Im well at home here.

I was looking at the Series 7 but I think circa 1000 is a lot of money when we are expecting some exciting new hardware in the next 12 months.

My plan B was to spend a few hundred on something like a Archos 9 (or a RM Slate 100 or even the Inspiron Duo N550) just to get a feel for the touch OS and get a little bit of inspiration.

Does anyone have anything good/bad to say about these devices?

I think that the options are:

  • Viewsonic Viewpad 10
  • Archos 9
  • Acer W500 ICONIA
  • Samsung 700T
  • ASUS Transformer (not 100% sure Win8 will run?)
  • RM Slate 100
  • HP Slate 500 
  • Wait 6 months

Can anyone please help me; what should I avoid and will any of the Windows 7 slates be ok for Windows 8 beta?

 

Thanks.
