Netbook=superior
I like it because its small and cheap
Pro
-has keyboard, excellent for typing
-can watch any and all porn easily, perfect for JO on vacations
-cheap (enough) that I don't mind whipping it out in locations where it might get stolen or damaged (i just hope for the best and it was only $250 not $1000 like a laptop)
-has usb so perfect as a secondary backup when I do photoshoots while traveling, put one copy on my external and one copy on the netbook (password protected incase its stolen dee dee dee)
cons
nothing really as long as you dont expect it to behave like a $1000 laptop
ipad doesnt have any of these pros at all so whats the point of it? OH YEAH its cool and hip but so is

Im not going to buy it though just like I wont buy that watch since I don't see it addressing any need I have that cannot be addressed with another cheaper yet better product.
