I'm debating pre-retirement technology. When we retire in the next year or so, we plan to travel in our camper or perhaps upgrade to a trailer. We'll obviously need a mobile phone and I think a flip is fine. I'm leaning toward a tablet of some type for internet access and as a reader. But, I think it makes the most sense to just wait and see what advances happen in the next while. Everything seems to become obsolete in 6 months - perhaps when we make the move they will all be rolled into one device. ??
