Misc. items:
There are some odd things about this device, take Safari for example:
  1. no tab key, so i can't type a tab in Safari (-Pages provides a special tool we select via menu to produce a tab character)
  2. no option key, so i can't type a ç with a cedilla or pi π, (a special € key is provided tho)
  3. no arrow keys for cursor navigation (insertion point movement)
  4. no way to type `back tics` (handy for posting Unix commands)
  5. no way to search for a string on a web page, such as finding "Reuters" here (really strange)
  6. no way to save a webpage file (be it in html, archive format, pdf or even a link), except only as a bookmark entry
  7. basic text manipulation such as editing this post still feels awkward (and slow)
Must admit, it takes hutzpah on Apple's part to release a product which functions "as expected" with that list of handicaps. [And i'm surprised that more power posters such as myself haven't been highlighting those quirks (not that i've seen anyway).]

I hope tomorrow's version 4 announcement will change some of that.
