I also do some reading on it and it does that fine. In fact, many people are using their smart phones in place of their PCs because most of what they want to do, the smart phone does!

Yeah, I was considering a netbook to supplement my work laptop that I try not to do too much random web browsing etc. on to avoid viruses.
But nixed that idea when I tried running ESPN360 and some other streaming videos on a few different ones and they all stuttered etc.--especially on HD videos.
I'll get by with my work laptop for now, and maybe try to pick up a deal on a 13" Sony Vaio or something similar sometime in the future.
