It was the finger that rarely causes any trouble. I only have the one well-behaved finger. The rest of them seem to be thumbs.

Thanks. Now I'm giggling so hard I can't ttype

I have to laugh. My first thought was "Oh, drat. I've never been popular, but I had been hoping for some karma someday, you know, inner beauty and all that." Thanks for the giggle!

The only Apple thing I have ever owned is one of the earlier iPod Nano devices. It's great and I love it for walking, but never had any desire to "cross over" into the more powerful devices. I try to support open source whenever I can. This technology is the last refuge of the buckaroo.  I love watching the tablet market -who's got the latest and greatest, and what will the Google/Amazon/Apple responses be? We consumers will be the ultimate winners. I expect I'll have a crate of ageing tablets before I curl up my toes.

I had been planning to use it just for e-reading, and movie-watching, and Google News. But I have found the email and calendar syncing so useful at work that it's rapidly becoming a productivity tool.  At last I can see my personal calendar and my work calendar in one interface, so I can stop putting my personal appointments in my workplace calendar. Since I leave my workplace calendar open for all in the company to see, this restores a good measure of privacy. Battery life supports taking it to meetings. Have free wifi in the office complex, so works well for me.

It was tough to choose between the resolution, the price and the processor. Taken together, they are what fueled my decision to buy. But I voted for the display. It is really sharp. Love it.

That's so funny! I actually did laugh out loud. I swear I had already tried that, and it just kept giving me new recommendations. But because you answered my plea, it worked!
