that is weird. you would expect the behavior to be the same. i noticed the problem with 3 and 4 windows open. not sure about 2. it would be a big problem trying to view pages away from home.

I had tested it with three pages open prior to posting and it was fine....but just retested with six and saw the same behaviour as you saw on the iTouch.

also, while the screen seemed large enough in the store, when i actually tried to read a 1500 word article on it i found it laborious and a bit of a strain on the eyes. i'd say it took twice as long to read as on my Macbook.

I'm not sure how much they will be able to do about that. The zoom feature works well, but you are still reading on a 3.5" screen....so scrolling and potential eye strain are always going to be possibilities. I do think that there is a market for something between the iPhone and the smallest laptops. Of course, with Apple's pricing you will have to hand over your first born to get it ;-).
