I sold all my redundant mobile phones and used every spare loyalty point I had to buy this. It must have been the best financial thing to do, worth every penny. I use it along side my work computer to monitor my social feeds. I order products and browse the web at home. why not use my lap top. The key is speed and convenience, open the pad and off you go. You are up and running in two or three seconds. For me for all my private needs the home computer is dead. I will now save up for an IPad 2 3G and my wife shall get this one. Then I may abandon the work computer as well.
