Wish I could say I disagree, but, I think that most Android tablets are way too small and might as well be oversized phones anyway. If you don't actually want to carry a tablet, but would like a small, notepad sized product, this eliminates the need for both a phone and a tablet.

BUT, please, don't put it into your back pocket. To borrow a line from a friend who rides motor cycles, who said, "there are ONLY two kinds of riders, been down, and goin' down," there are only two kinds of back pocket smartphone carriers, "already broke one, and going to break one." It's just a matter of time.

Thanks, everyone, for your contributions. Ultimately, after some digging around, I have found a program which will sync Calendar, Contacts and Tasks directly (via Wi-Fi) between the PC and iPad. That program is DejaOffice, which has a 14 day free trial. So far as I can see it is working fine in general terms. A downside is that Pocket Informant can't access it. DejaOffice does fit one of my main criteria which is that I didn't want personal/financial information sitting in a remote location.

Many thanks again everyone for your helpful contributions.

I rode motorcycles and did advanced training for a number of years and the prime reason people 'go down' or get into crashes is by their own lack of observation and antisipation. So the presumption that getting into some sort of crash is an inevitability, is erronious.

I only have been riding for a couple years but I'd have to agree with Gedansky. I haven't met a single rider who hadn't had a form of an accident, from flipping upside down at 80 miles an hour to forgetting the kickstand and dropping the bike. Making mistakes is how you learn. My dad told me to worry about drivers who NEVER had accidents 10-fold my worry about the ones who had accidents ;)
To address your exchange question, yes exchange IS capable of syncing tasks as well. On your iPad or smart phone it gives you the option from settings.
From a pc, as I remember, you have to select the active task database. What's your OS and I'll try and give you the steps of setting it up.
Cheers

I would have to agree with me too. But, even if you don't like my metaphor, I have been using PDA's since 1996 and smartphones since 2000, and 100% of the people I have met who carry their smartphone or PDA in their back pocket, have sat on it, or shifted wrong, and broken the screen. If you get a Samsung Note, be prepared to wear looser fitting pants and carry it in, or wear a jacket.
