Cheers boys..

The only issue that I have with a tablet, is the lack of keyboard for typing (which I plan to do a bit of email writing, and was even contemplating keeping a bit of a journal of the trip - which I have done before, and would be much more likely to do if I was typing, as opposed to physically writing shit down.. hahaha).. Also the restrictions of space on a tablet, not a huge amount of storage unless you get an external harddrive.. But then the external harddrive will root your battery life too, won't it?..

Being 6'8", I get well acquainted with the taste of my knees when I'm on these sort of long flights, so I think im pretty screwed for comfort and lap space either way..
I definitely want to stay away from anything Mac related.. I have enough issues trying to sync my iPod classic up.. iTunes is my mortal enemy.. haha
