here we go
after all the early (and absurd) compaints about the nano's acceptance because the wait times were so short, I imagine we'll see the same sort of shortage that the mini experienced. Better keep an eye on it and order early for Chistmas. Otherwise you'll be paying a premium on eBay.

Camino's problems
To me, Camino's biggest drawback is that by using its own interface design and such, its broken the ability to use the third-party extensions that work on Firefox and Mozilla. The whole point of Firefox was to make a small basic browser that was highly extensible, and that said extensions would basically work platform-independently.
Basically, how anyone can use Camino to surf without the aid of Adblock is beyond me. Its like using IE on a PC. Just so cluttered with flashing ads, popups, etc, that its impossible to actually read the content (hey, MacNN, I'm talking to you!).

Privoxy
Run privoxy, it's better than Adblock.
And I still use Camino because it's caching all my old passwords. Also, is Safari still missing font size button options in the toolbar?

adblock
adblock is a simple preference in Camino now, you want it, just hit the checkbox (under web features). Camino is my default browser, it's fast, has a great feature set without having to worry about bloat or hunting for obscure extensions. And it just feels much more at home in OS X than Firefox. I do agree the icons could be better, though.

font size buttons
Safari always had font size buttons, from what I remember... you have to add them to the toolbar from the "Customize Address Bar" option in the view menu.

Camino's day has passed
Camino was attractive when it still had the beautiful 3D blue icons in the toolbar, while it was still called Chimera, but I've lost all interest in it since they adopted the ugly, generic colored circular icons. As far as I know, Camino never did solve the Chinese text rendering problem that I registered on the bugs tracking page, so I have no reason to use it. Firefox and Safari fulfill my purposes, even though I was once an extremely devout Camino fan.
