      Yea, they rock. And I'm a PC fan boy. I've been wanting a low end netbook, just for checking TV schedules etc while watching, or a quick email or tweet, when in around the house, not in my home office. This is exactly what I wanted, but better. Now I can invest less in an iPad than a netbook, and more in a better laptop.

          I've been approached about it already too. :-D I'm not a major fan of developing for iPhone/iTouch/iPad, I find it a bit restricting, right the way across the board. :(

            But I though an iPad was around $800. Netbooks routinely come in at around $200-300, and you can buy damn-respectable laptops for less than $600.

              In SA, last time I bothered to look, netbooks still started at around R4, with decent ones around R6k. Take the $499 price I saw for the iPad, at around R4k, it's a bargain for that quality.

                But netbooks can run multiple apps at the same time - iPad can't.

                  Apple's official response: if you want to run multiple apps at the same time, buy multiple iPads

                    I have word that it's only 3rd party apps they can't multitask, so you can run two standard apps together.

                      Yeah, it's available at the kernel level, but is blocked out by the official API. But Apple make such a tiny percentage of the market's software that you may as well say that multitasking is almost completely unavailable.
