I'm in Miami toying with my little laptop netbook with wifi in my hotel room. I did get to horse around with an ipad, and man, its great. However, I am grateful to use this little netbook to check flights and surf the internet. only thing it cant do is print for I have no printer, but it serves me fine. The ipad is something else. I just don't care too much for the keyboard on the screen. I'm used to the old school keyboards. I do like the ipad touch screen moving the page up and down kind of thing though. This lap top sucks without a mouse, and I have to use my index to move around in this little square, but what the hey? There is a computer room down the hall to print my boarding pass. but I like the privacy of toying around with the laptop. Its awesome. Now about those iphones and androids??? I gotta warm up to it first like I'm doing with this little laptop. I like the handiness of checking out the maps, locating good cuban restaurants and cigar shops close by. ATM machines ect....weather is nice but the crazy drivers here definately don't come from the USA. They drive with their horns here and just plain rude driving thats all.
