[AccessD] Access on a tablet

That's interesting.  Are there Linux tablets that could then run an Access
app using Wine?

Hi Rocky:

Any product that can run Linux...

Just a few days ago ran up a copy of Access 2003 on a client's Ubuntu 13.04
Linux box and it installed without issue...almost brain dead simple. (It had
the product "Wine" pre-installed.)

I have not installed it on a tablet but according to Google there are a
number of tablets that can run either Linux and Android.
(http://www.ubuntu.com/tablet) ...but as far as I know Android can not
support MS Office...yet...but maybe soon as current versions of desktop
Office go directly after the hardware to gain performance and maybe to
protect their products from wandering to an enemy OS. ;-) (Steven Ballmer
hinted at a more universal product version but no today).

Dear Lists:
 
Is there a tablet comp that will run Access or at least a run-time access
app?
