Thanks. Those usually are terrible for any sort of programming. Typing on a touch-screen - especially a tiny one - is tedious and error-prone, and as mentioned, you often can't get a decent environment set up. Get some real hardware, preferably with a free OS on it (Linux being the most popular, but not the only, option), and carry around something that sits on your lap instead of in your pocket, but can actually do what you need it to. I've been carrying around a 14" or 15" laptop for years, now, and I happily sit all the way up back of a bus, coding away on an actual keyboard. (I recommend about that size, incidentally. Smaller ones tend to feel cramped, larger ones have trouble fitting in between other passengers. 14-15 inch is about right.) ChrisA
