Windows Phone Thoughts: Are You A True Mobile Road Warrior?

I am just wondering how many of us that are road warriors have completely or partially eschewed their laptop when traveling and just use their Pocket PC. If I am going to have a work session where I need a full version of Excel or Access, the laptop goes with me, but that is just a few times a year. Most of the time, my Pocket PC, complete with earbuds, memory cards of music, network connectivity and Stowaway keyboard are all I need. I even went to Germany last spring for a full week and never missed my laptop.

With WiFi being more common in public places I can VPN into my network, ActiveSync remotely and even control and download Audible content by using Remote Desktop and Windows XP Pro. I can sync email via IMAP using VPN either through WiFi, a standard CAT5 connector, a 56K modem or via GPRS with my T68. Same goes for Avantgo news and, of course, my RSS feed to Pocket PC Thoughts. :wink: I get updates on stocks, weather, can send and receive all manner of files like Word, Excel, Adobe PDF files, images, etc. With the aid of Dex-Plor, I can even buy, download and unzip ebooks from Peanut Press directly on my Pocket PC. So let me know how the Pocket PC has changed your travel habits.



Lets try to keep this poll pretty pure. If you never had a laptop or don't travel that much, this poll isn't for you. :) That would be a whole 'nuther poll on how the Pocket PC has changed your work habits since mobility entered the picture.
