iPad

The iPad screen does get marked quite easily. Same as FerrypilotDK I have an antibacterial microfibre cloth that I carry arround to regularly clean the screen. I did try a screen protector for a couple of months, but this took away from the screen quality so I removed it. just don't eat any greasy pies when using iPad.
Before my iPad purchase I used my iPhone for much of what I do (have posted a list of programmes I still have on it in this thread). The ability to carry out phone call conferences easily is a big plus. I also find that I am able to text much quicker than people who do not have an iPhone.
The iPad screen being so much larger is a godsend for me. Makes my life so much easier. To assist with typing large documents I have a blue tooth keyboard that means that I then have all the screen for a document. It is great. I also have a stylus (bought in Canada) that I some times use. The iPad is not perfect, but it beats carrying a laptop around. Yes, it does not have a full operating system, but that is to its' benefit. The reason I disliked netbooks so much was the fact that they all have a full Windows OS, which the processors and RAM are unable to cope with. I agree with Ferrypilot DK about emailing. The calendar is also brilliant.
I have just received an 11" Macbook Air to trial. Have not had much opportunity to use it as yet, but is is a smart bit of kit. Unfortunately battery life is about 5 hours. I wish I could install some of the iPad apps on it. Have also enjoyed using the Macbook Air so far.
I agree that the Nokia 6310i is a good phone. If you want more from a phone though it is not able to match the iPhone. Having said that, different people utilise their phone/ pdas etc in different ways and have differing requirements. The iPhone and iPad nearly meet my requirements.
