I don't know why they are targeting netbooks as their competitor. iPad like all other apple products is kind of a luxury product rather than an affordable one. I don't like the netbook because of their form factor (I call it the 'crampbook') but the lack of multitasking is enough to keep me away from the iPad (come on! even the relatively advanced mobile phones can multi task!!) I wouldn't call that Magic. (Maybe their mana bar has a lower limit after all:) )
Agree with you, actually this seems too general to be a patent to me, and I believe a lot of other popular web-sites are already doing it in some form (Hulu for example).
