Until you held a Kindle Fire you just won't understand how nice it is to hold. |

That fat finger remark is definitely an homage to Jobs. He said people would have to sharpen their fingers with a pencil sharpener to use a 7" tablet. Meanwhile there are rumors Apple is now thinking about a smaller Ipad.
I prefer the 7" because I can hold it with one hand for hours. My Ipad is too heavy to hold for any period of time with one hand. Hard to use a touch interface with no hands free. |

Back to the original topic for the review. For someone who focuses so much on usability, design and user experience, his website sucks. It might've been considered a "clean look" for the 1997 standard, but not in 2011. |

The Internet is not adapted for touchscreens. Every tablet device has this problem period. You want to see a REALLY bad Internet experience? Pick up a Windows Mobile running 6.0 or earlier. That or any java based phone.
Even the iPad has that issue. But then again, there are lot of websites especially formatted for iOS, something people forget when writing these reviews. Everybody else has to use the mobile versions for now which are built for the java phones in mind. |
