Would be buyers should try one before they make the purchase. Like I said, a good device sells itself. That's not a rant but quite reasonable I think.
As I pointed out to Karel a while back (and received his wrath for it ) that's still at least somewhat subjective. I've had some other functionality and stability issues but my internet experience has been almost flawless IF the novel stuff is ruled out (java, Flash 9, etc). Yes, I realize those are mainstream tools but I shouldn't need to deal with them for the bulk of my internet use, and don't. I can live without Youtube on my tablet. Easily. In fact, there's only one website that currently frustrates me and that's www.wellsfargo.com, since it depends on java. So until that changes I'll do my banking on my desktop PC and use the tablet for everything else-- including ebay, cnn, my investment broker, the occasional food recipe, google, instant messaging and of course this forum.
