And can you point out to me which netbook is as thin as an iPad with the
same screen v case size ration and the same battery life with the same
touch screen and the same rather awesome control SW?

The COLA "advocates" remain, as always, totally ignorant.

I am certain he will, just after you told him where the iPad user finds
the many different real applications outside of the confinement of the
apple store. While you are at it, you will certainly tell him how to
connect his USB peripherals to that overpriced piece of junk. Lets start
with something simple, let him connect a USB-drive to get some content off
and on the iPad

No. It is different.

And for me it is obviously *not* better, but way off the mark for my
needs.
And so it is for lots of people
