[Lab] Looking for Help!

[Andrew Morrow]

Hi all,

This is my first post, so please forgive me if this isn't getting to the 
right place, or seems off-topic.

I'm looking for tablet-style computer on which to do digital painting, and 
most likely animation, video editing, and maybe even email etc (most 
importantly, though, digital painting). I've looked at Tablet PC's, 
modbooks, and cintiqs, but am unable to make a decision, as I really have no 
expierience with these things. Portability is important, as I'll be biking 
around with the thing, and would want to be able to produce studies on the 
spot. Any advice?

Andrew Morrow

IF you use a cell phone,  most of them have a blue tooth or a wire
that will emulate a serial port / modem.  you can read the Text
messages using what they call AT commands.  I made a C++ api for that
too with call backs and every thing and I also have a C# example for
that some where if you are interested.
