Ive found FF4 is a lot faster than 3, and that's with NoScript and ABP loaded.

Gestures aren't supported right now, but that should come soon enough. From here they're bringing the UI up to the stand of Chrome last year and IE10 won't be much different, I think.

Opera Mini on the N900 is rather good, though

Birthday party over here, I can start thinking about real life again. Oil leak to deal with first, though

more or less expensive than a C4?

Having used my K5 in serious anger this week (10k pics) and then going back to the k10 for some other stuff, it's become very apparent to me that the K5 simply allows more. Much more. Be it Dynamic Range, high speed, set the high ISOs and fuggedabaatit - it simply allows me to concentrate more on my pics and less on the limitations.

Having said that, the K10 with the M28/3.5 also rocks for my little monster. I'll post up some of her shots soon.

The limited grip is fantastic. Not sure it's worth another €100, but if there's a swap program and it's around €50, count me in. It's so much better it's not funny - and all they've done is add a second finger indent. Makes a huge difference and I feel a lot less likely to drop it. Shutter finger is up, middle finger and now ring finger have indentations, leaving the little one to sit there. It works.

Yes, this was a high street store (albeit in Darmstadt and quite expensive) but they definitely had Pentax in and on show.

yep, they don't, and it's the reason I don't have a Pentax on my desk and have a Canon there instead.

back via Finnair, a Ford CeeMax (which I *really* didn't like) and Avis. One unexpected bill later - we put a new crack in teh C'Max' windscreen which we'll end up coughing up something for - and we're home. Only 10k pics this week so far

We were at the zoo, your honour, and my little monster really likes the 28mm on the K10d.

well, my alarm will ring in about 6 hours to get me out of bed and off to the airport for a few days in the relative warmth of Germany. Supposed to hit 22 degrees on Monday. Just got to finish packing...
