I agree for the most part. The difference for me is two-fold, however. First, with multiple back surgeries, I should not be carrying a laptop and all the accessories. So I opted for a Samsung Tablet. Now I can access my corporate network, servers, routers, everything, from anywhere. All the while carrying very little with me.

Secondly, I am not a hipster, but I am a technology professional. That means that I inherently like the new technology and typically adapt at a faster rate than most others. And sometimes it's not because I need to, but rather I think it is cool and want it. And when my company supports my habit, well, why would I complain? LOL

My EVO has no Sense on it at all. And if I can clean that up, a tablet can also be done
