I do use an Iphone, even sometimes for web browsing. In fact I used an Ipad for several years -- well, it was a Frontpath Progear, but that's the same thing (including even the keyboard dock) except much heavier and with less-good software. It scored an easy ten out of ten for Captain Kirkishness, but somewhat less than that for practicality. Once I had a laptop (which I needed for other things, like work travel, and so had to have a full OS), there seemed no need for two gadgets doing the same job, and the Frontpath went in the cupboard. The laptop sits charging next to the sofa, and whenever it's needed it gets unplugged from its trailing wire and handed over.
