not got a mac, ipad gestures are ok, still miss having a mouse sometimes tho, selecting text on here and other sites is a pita frankly. User error may well be a factor.Yeah, if you don't think multi-finger gesures are intutitive, try a Mac.

Wireless speakers (combination of a jambox for portable, nokia wireless music reciever for upstairs hi-fi and airplay/upnp thru my mythbox for the downstairs hifi). Music from whatever device i want(laptop, phone, server, ipad, other phone etc), playing whereever I want it, with no wires. Magic!

Tablets came out, portable like a big phone and with all day battery life, smaller, lighter and nearly as capable as my laptop, for half the price of a ultralight laptop.
Just to play devil's advocate you know 😉
netbook for 250 quid
