About LinkBacksWhen I can get a netbook for half the price the tablet doesn't look as interesting to me. Reading forums or answering emails I can do in the barcolounger with the netbook on my lap with both the screen & keyboard in the correct orientation. A tablet is either going to have the screen parallel with the floor or (with the screen up) the keyboard perpendicular to the floor.
Be nice to have the larger screen if I was just watching video for a length of time but I think I'd still prefer the netbook for day to day use. It'd be nice to 'just have' one if the price was decent, but I can't really justify it otherwise.

03-04-2010 05:20 AMI'm really looking forward to the 8" version for my kitchen. It will serve as a digital photo frame when not being actively used, but I think it's a great way to access programming, recipes, etc. when I'm cooking. Plus, in a pinch I can take grocery list notes without having to find my phone, then I can sync it with my phone later while at the store and get what I need.

03-04-2010 11:44 AMI fail to see how $150-$180 is a ton of disposable income. The Archos 7 inch uses a slower processor as a costdown, but gives it a super low $149 retail. A few bucks more for the larger screen on the 8" is a bargain! Originally Posted by slinky

03-04-2010 11:59 AMThe iPad starts at $500 and that doesn't get you anything... you have to spend at least $650 and there is also the matter of a data plan... it's a colossal waste of money. Originally Posted by skidemn
