I'm never going to stand somewhere and need a site that uses flash for critical elements. It's usually cnn.com's mobile site or something along those lines. When I'm not mobile, that's when I can use my laptop (bought after the EEE PC). I'm satisfied.

I think Apple is ******ed in the hoops they lay out for people to jump through but the overall experience has been better. While I always disagreed that the tablets should have a cellular radio in them, I've changed my mind. It just shouldn't ridiculously inflate the price, ie I could buy one and use as a disconnected tablet if I felt like it without having to sign up for a hellish contract and crappy data rates. Either way, the speed is still something that I'm not completely happy with.
