Netbooks, dunno. Which is why I wrote "laptops/netbooks", thinking here specifically of my Sony TT [an imperfect yet incredibly powerful, small, light, and full-featured tool - oh, and I absolutely hate Sony as a company - but several of their recent VAIOs have been quite good].

Which could have been done just as easily and, from a supine position for example, more comfortably IMO, on a laptop.

I hope that you understand that I am not trying to make a case that the iPad is not right for you, specifically. Rather I am addressing my comments to a larger audience among some of Apple's more, um, ardent fans, and their giddy public group orgasm over the iPad regardless of what it can't/doesn't do...
