+1 people want a mini tablet with a 3G modem that can sometimes make/receive calls and texts (depending where you live).

Today I saw a 60 (+/- 5) yr old couple on the train:

(he produces a SGS1, probably somebody gave it to him)
He: yeah, I've got this now.
(she grabs it, holds it, weighs it, swipes through the desktops, all in 10 seconds)
She: it's alright
He: I still have to learn how to use it
(he swipes a bit more, puts it back in his pocket)
(she grabs her iPhone 4, swipes a little bit through the desktops)
She: This one is definitely quicker.
He: oh, is it?

I just can't stop loving how people in general percieve technology.
