Dear All,
as the proud owner of one of these tablet thingies I am trying to make it as TeX-friendly as possible. Because the chances of running TeX on it are slim, I've been looking at alternatives. The major goal would be to be able to create a presentation in ConTeXt on a tablet. For LaTeX, there is a cloud based services called ScribTeX, which allows you to store (in the free version) up to three projects with up to 50MB space in the cloud, and have it LaTeXed. As their cloud can be accessed via an App, you can edit the files on your tablet, send them to the cloud, have them TeXed, and download the pdf.
I am tempted to contact the ScribTeX people and ask them to suport ConTeXt as well, but as I am just a little user and wouldn't have a clue about legalities, technicalities, etc, I thought I might ask here first.
Legalities .. anyone can do it I guess and no one can claim that it's a unique (copyrighted process). With respect to technicalities ... most robust is xml input, a for texing one needs to take some precautions as one can create enormous jobs. Also it needs to be sanboxed. And there are resources to manage.
