Thanks for the clarification, Sam. I think you are describing ‘device neutrality’ which might suggest useful content that is available anytime, anywhere on any device.

I just have an innate aversion to focus on style over substance. Go ahead and support multiple formats, but I would much prefer fewer and more data rich posts than pondering over formatting issues.

I don’t understand Sam’s point — why shouldn’t JK look to better understand their reader’s access methods? That should result in an improved product, no? I feel much better when the chef comes out of the kitchen and asks about my meal…

I read it from a Netbook, but I read it through bloglines.com/mobile, much better than the real thing.

BTW I said Netbook, suck it down Psion!

OK, if you are through gazing at your navel, JK boys, I suggest you get back to finding something interesting to write about. I have to say that the quality of your posts has really started to fall off (and this inane “poll”) is just one example.

If the ideal computing environment for most people turns out to be using a mobile computer 2/3 of the time while docked, surveys that respond “desktop computer” for such use will obscure the data pointing to the importance of mobility.

To me a docked anything used at the desktop is a desktop computer.

If someone uses a docked slate tablet as their main use, that configuration that would not come through in the survey results. Five years from now, when many people are using pocket computers that dock to use a full keyboard and screen at their desk, people will have no idea of how to interpret the survey options.

Yes, I have to use a device, but see

why that doesn’t mean I have a choice that matches my usage in your poll.

And yes, I came to the site to comment, but that makes up maybe 5% of my usage of jkOnTheRun, so I am not counting that as “most often”.
