Well, that racks up about 1,000 comments in this thread. They sure know how to generate buzz. iPad is not a netbook, not a floor wax, and not a dessert topping, OK?! Let's discuss what iPad IS. I think iPad is my Sunday NY Times, my Wired Magazine (Have you seen the demo...?), my John Stewart show, my iTunes remote control, my ESPN, and my photo viewer, among many other things, which no netbook or cheapie laptop can hope to do nearly as well. It is not a netbook, it is a coffee table book, and the irrelevant fraction of the market which is slashdot is scared to death of it and morbidly discussing it to death. I wonder why? Launch a discussion about your favorite netbook and see how many comments you garner here. signed, someone who remembers when slashdot was a cool site....
