Is the 901 capable of playing the video files if you download them, rather than watch them via a Flash player? I've been wondering lately about whether the overhead that Flash adds to playing video will in anyway influence the success of alternatives. The iPhone has already taken a pass on it for exactly that reason I believe.

And also, I'm not currently using Linux, but I believe there is a gui in Totem for browsing and playing Youtube videos directly.

After months of reading your blog and others, I bought a mac book air (yes, maybe it will amazes you, but you speak at length about netbook, and it convinces me netbook was NOT good for me)

So yeah, I "have thrown caution (and money) literally to the wind " but I really love that mac. Maybe my more pleasant experience ever with a computer to read web and write texts. but, my job is not concerned by the economical downturn.

I'm still perplexed with e-book.

You ditched (mostly) the e-kindle 2, for an sony e-reader. It's a bold move, very interesting.

Opera recently hired Jon Hicks (see http://www.hicksdesign.co.u... ), which should start changing the situation with their UI...sometime. Hopefully soon.
