If you are thinking about making a Hackint0sh using a Dell Mini 10v, do a web search for “Meklort”. He created an installer to help fix any problems that may occur. All you need after that is an OEM copy of Snow Leopard, an 8GB USB drive, a little knowledge (forums can help) and patience.
Not an iPad, but I can listen to iTunes while I check my mail, surf the web and chat on Adium or Skype.
Under $300 with Mac OSX SL, tax and S & H.
You can also run multiple operating systems (Mac OSX, Windows 7 & Ubuntu).
Apple released Safari 5 the same week as all the hype about the new iPhone so it received little attention. It has decent HTML5 support, probably an attempt to help Adobe Flash out the door faster.
I mix up my browser usage between Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari to stay on top of web browsers and their characteristics. I still prefer Firefox if one avoids all the Add-ons (Tools Menu). Microsoft actually put out an IE8 TV commercial recently trying to assure users about its’ security prowess. If it was as good as they say, they wouldn’t need to tell users. IE9 is just around the corner. I’m very curious to see what Microsoft has to offer. IE6 was a sub-par browser because Microsoft pulled their IE developers from browser development and put them on more lucrative projects. That helped Firefox, an open-source app, evolve faster. Then came IE7 & IE8 which were mediocre at best. I like all the competition because it usually creates better products.
