I fail to see what "advantages" the iPad gives over a laptop, a desktop, or a netbook.. It seems to kinda be stuck in the middle, giving you parts of what you want but not enough to make it worthwhile. I agree entirely..

My favorite Jobs quote:

“Now, some people thought that was a netbook—the problem is that netbooks aren't better than anything!”

… except my netbook runs Skype and has a built in webcam and mic.
… except that my netbook's bluetooth and/or USB connection allows me to tether to my phone.
… except my netbook can run Silverlight and Flash (maybe not great, but acceptable)
… except my netbook has an SD slot and USB
… except my netbook has a 160 GB hard drive

Don't get me wrong, it's a good first step but not a game changer like the iPhone was.
