Perhaps, but I would prefer to use RF or Bluetooth if possible, so it does not have to be line of sight.

I would like to get what is essentially a smart phone without the phone, or which could also be described as a very small tablet with a maximum screen size of 3 inches. Basically I'm trying to make a cheap touchscreen universal remote. There are great apps for turning your android phone or...

I want to make sure I understand how things would work since I have not yet been able to try out an android tablet and have very little familiarity with the OS. Does the Android OS have a file manager like the Windows explorer? And does the android version of dropbox have a folder within that...

There is one additional aspect I just thought of. Does the android app version of dropbox behave like the Windows application? In other words, if I save a document on the tablet in the dropbox folder, is it saved to the tablet internal storage and then uploaded to the cloud? Or is it only...

I'm researching a tablet to buy for my mother, and I need to find an easy file sharing system. We are working on a project together and need to share documents between my Windows PC and whichever android tablet I get her. I need the simplest solution. I have had very frustrating experiences...
