True. I mainly need flash for video, so it's not a biggie for me.

Would seem easy enough to program it so touching something for 3 seconds, or double touching etc. equaled a mouse hover. Not ideal, but would work.

It's fine for quick browsing, but I'd still mainly use my laptop as I do a lot of forum posting which is easier with a real key board, watch a decent amount of Flash video, and even the things like ABC/Netflix video that have apps I'd rather watch on my larger laptop screen. With the one exception being watching in bed where'd I'd rather not have the bulky, hot laptop.

So whatever tablet I get will get used for web browsing, but at home I'd still do most of that on my laptop.
