Tablets? Gotta be better than the iPad! I played with one today - not overly impressed. Safari is the mobile version which breaks my website - losing .css scrollbars and second level .css menus (which work with all `proper` browsers). No multitasking (of course). The previous person had tried to access a BBC website page but it failed (no flash!). Shit - if it can`t access the BBC then half the world who want honest impartial true reporting are stuffed.
