  1. Tablets will get complaints. by xintegerx · · Score: 1, Troll

    Tablets, with the much bigger screens, will get tons more complaints from 10 to 20 percent of its users than PDA's do.

    What complaint? THE SCROLL BARS ARE ON THE RIGHT SIDE! IF YOU'RE LEFT HANDED, and you're writing or drawing, it will (is) a pain to scroll because your left hand blocks the action! And how many times do you scroll? I know that PDA's have smaller screens and that I can and do use the up/down buttons, but scrolling would be fun sometimes. :/

    GEEZUS WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE ADDRESS THIS!!!!!
