The tablet/EVDO combination is a great idea. Indeed, if you must be online, I suggest practicing with and hosting off an EVDO connection (I use Sprint Wireless Broadband, but the Verizon service is also good) rather than counting on the local connection.

I was there with the Expensify guys, and I would say that the demopit was possibly AS VALUABLE as being on stage. Stage only lasts a few minutes, the demo pit is all day, and in our case, we were able to get 2 days of demopit action. Ignore David's advice at your own peril. Travis Great breakdown DB!
