  1. I trade with IB. I use iTWS on an iPhone when I'm on-the-go, but would like to be able to see multiple quotes at once while I'm making a trade, as well as news items, so I'd like to try a tablet that can either use IB's native apps or the regular desktop TWS. I have an iPad and could try that, but I'm wondering if a Windows tablet would be feasible.

    Can the regular desktop TWS be used with either a finger or a stylus without, literally, fat-fingering a transaction?

    I will really be mobile with this - I'll be riding a train. So my IP address will constantly be changing. iTWS on the iPhone with 3G handles this pretty well. How well does the desktop TWS work when the local IP address changes? Would using a Mifi, which keeps the tablet's IP address constant, work any better?
