Is there even one tablet running Win 7 with Office Mobile?

by taoskier - 1/6/12 2:56 PM

Every tablet I've seen runs on apple iOS or Android, or Blackberry OS etc. I haven't seen one that says it runs on windows 7 and includes ms office mobile. I want compatibility, which my current PDA lacks, as its OS and Office Mobile programs are outdated (even though I purchased it just before upgrading my laptop to win 7 and office 2010). If there are no win 7 os tablets, what tablet would best sync seamless with a win7/office2010 laptop? I want my seamless integration back!

Currently I have to back up my laptop work files, backup my pda work files, then hope activesynch and win mob dev ctr are getting along. Then pray. Then I usually have to manually update files and replace files that should not have been deleted. Then once my work files are on the PDA I'm forded to save them under a new name, but then I change them back to their old names. Only then will everything be properly synched, a step a few years ago would have taken minutes and I could do every day.

What is this "Office Mobile"?

Reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_Mobile it's for Windows Phone so the answer is that it won't run on Windows 7 (the OS.)

There are tablets that run Windows 7 and you can run Office on those. But then that's not "Office Mobile" is it?

http://reviews.cnet.com/tablets/acer-iconia-tab-w500/4505-3126_7-34692423.html is just one of the handful of Windows 7 tablets.

Before I would consider that I'd pick up one of the new Ultrabooks.

I appreciate the info. However, I'll have to look into what an Ultrabook is. Also, I'm thinking of waiting for Windows 8. I've read that some Win 8 tablets might go on sale in the third quarter of this year.

ps--Office Mobile is just a scaled down version of Office that came w/my last three HP PDAs. However, HP appers to be turning their attention to phones. I thought my first non wifi PDA was great, the second even better (with wifi), but the third had little memory or power and, as I see it, it was almost obsolete on arrival.

While I know what that title is, I thought it best to pitch this in that manner so we could move on with the discussion.

Office Mobile has been included on my HP PDAs, so Wikipedia is wrong if it says W Mobile is exclusively for phones.
