Meh. If I can afford unlimited 3G I'm setting up a Beowulf cluster from my old desktop computers I've been gathering for the purpose, and running the really processor-intensive stuff that way.

In the unlikely event this happened though, I'm not buying a capacitive screen device unless I have to, or capacitive technology suddenly starts being able to 'feel' even non-conductive surfaces through some quantum-mechanical electron-cloud voodoo. If someone went with multitouch resistive, on the other hand...
