It's a solution and device for content not yet made, but will Be on the back of its release for starters.

It will do ome things better. It isn't an eink screetheBan the kindle do video? No one can deny that the iPad won't do video better than the iPhone or the kindle. The Kindle can't do color. It's a one trick pony. Yes, the dpi is lower, but the font handling may be better.

it isn't for Everyone. But not being right personally doesn't mean it won't be tight or many many other users.

i'm guessing you wrote this on an iPhone? it reminds me of the early jokes about the Newton mis-reading handwriting. Garbled? I'll say. And that double negative about video actually asserts that the iPad's video is inferior to the iPhone's or Kindle's. Proofread, my friend proofread! :)

No, they sat around in a meeting and discussed . . . if consumers are willing to buy shiploads of crappy netbooks that have tiny screens, lousy keyboards and no drives . . . is there a business opportunity for our company?

my netbook has a very nice screen, 160GB of storage and a perfectly fine keyboard. On top of that, I can watch internet TV like Hulu, play flash, use the webcam built into it for chat, install applications, download stuff from anywhere on the internet, install OSX if I so inclined to do so.. etc. and it costs half of what the iPad does.

Agree with the OP. Don't see a reason to shell out 800 bucks to get the same level of utility I already have with my iPhone, which is much more portable and with me all the time.
