[AccessD] Technology "Revolutions"

I am waiting for a 'Nexus 10' - cheap / functional 10" tablet.  I truly love the Nexus 7 but a 10" 
format seems more suited for internet browsing.  OTOH the 7" format works really well for the kid's 
games as well as for travel videos and is very portable.

I bought the Seagate Satellite which is a 500 gb disk / wifi.  I use DVD Catalyst to convert movies 
to a playable format and store them on the Satellite.  That can stream to several different devices 
(tablets) simultaneously.  I spent $570 for two 7" tablets and the satellite and get awesome 
capabilities for much less than a single iPad.  Entertain two kids on trips and they have their own 
tablets to play games as well.  My son does Skype with Aunt Janice.

Apparently the FCC told the cell companies that charging for tethering is illegal so I now have cell 
phone to tablet / laptop tethering.

This stuff is finally converging into a usable whole.  Widgets from all over playing nicely together.
