For business purpose and since I have enough "points" on my credit card, I
got an iPad for free earlier this year. However, while I have no problems
with Mac OSX the few occasions where I need to use it, iOS is just very
frustrating to me. I am sure I can handle it if I keep trying, but it's
easier to sell the thing for $ and use that to pay bills.

At some point, when there is a need, I will probably pick up a Sony Xperia.
That looks quite nice.
