Netbooks? Just about every family I know has a few Netbooks. Not one has an iPad.

I would consider an iPad, for the uses described, if the thing were 1/2 the price. It is way too costly. No wonder Apple's stock is doing so well. Why aren't the anti-corporation bashers attacking Apple for profiteering?
No iFans do not feel fleeced. We effectively enjoy years of free tech support if we have an Apple store nearby. But we rarely need that because we have reliable products that are beautifully made. We don't have to buy anti-malware programs or wonder if the software we pick up will work with our machines. Our O/S was designed to work with touchscreen devices, not adapted to them. No, don't worry about us. we'll be fine.

Netbook Sales Are Crashing! Quick! Blame The iPad, Not The Lousy Netbooks!
