The only things I do on the computer that I don't do on the iPhone are: Word process editing. It is so much easier to deal with Word on a PC than doing any real editing and formatting on an iDevice. Audio editing with GoldWave. Web site creation and maintenance Excel spreadsheets
Pretty much everything else I mostly do with the iPhone; banking, web searches, Email, looking up definitions, and much more. I also think Microsoft word is far, far easier to use than any word processing on a Mac. Especially if you are doing any kind of formatting with headings, etc. The business of having to figure out when to "interact" and when you don't need to "interact" with an element on the screen with a Mac is crazy making. Plus, it is one of the strangest keystrokes I have ever heard of, Control+Shift+Options+down arrow to interact and Control+Shift+Options+up arrow to stop interacting.

I'm considering buying my first laptop. What do you use a computer for that an ode vice can't do? Also, is VoiceOver any different on a Mac than on an iPhone? How does it compare with jaws? Unlike the iPhone, does it know Hebrew? Can it cope with it if knows Hebrew Braille but doesn't have an appropriate voice synthesizer? Again, I hope this isn't too OT.
