Typing on a touchscreen is just so bloody slow, too. I can type reasonably fast on a physical keyboard without perfect touch typing, but I'd say I type about about 1/3 that speed max on a touch screen. If it's cold outside then that drops down to closer to 10%.

It's frustrating because as you've pointed out, for consumption, it's great. I can easily read a long email while out, but if I want to respond with anything beyond a short sentence or two, it's just so frustrating that I wait until I'm home at a real computer.
