Will,
As I see it, my Acer AS1410 Netbook blows this thing out of the water any day. For $385 I got a Celeron Dual Core processor that plays 1080p videos without hiccups (I can even send the image and sound directly to my HDTV via the INCLUDED HDMI port or VGA port), 2GB of RAM, 3 USB ports, full size keybord, SD reader, 1.3MP camera, 11inch Led backlit, 160GB HDD and 6 hour battery life, and there is a kit that sells for $60 to make it touchscreen. It weights just over one pound more than an IPad, but I'd bet that if you're going to be lugging around the keyboard and at least the VGA port it surely weights the same, it can even dual boot Win7 and OSX!!. I really wanted to love the IPad and was expecting to be amazed, but Apple really dropped the ball this time. They say it's a hybrid between a computer and a cellphone, thing is PDAs have existed from over 20 years now and we all know what happened to them. If the IPad had at least Multitasking, USB port and VGA out built in, I think it would be worth considering, as it is nos, it really does not appeal but to hardcore Apple fans.
