I am pretty sure that explains why Google and Microsoft are ditching physical keyboards with the Nexus One and Windows Phone 7 Series, respectively.

Quoting John Gruber:

"The iPhone introduced a new model. A true great leap forward in the state of the art. Not a small screen that shows you things which you manipulate indirectly using buttons and trackballs occupying half the device’s surface area, but instead a touchscreen that occupies almost the entirety of the surface area, showing things you manipulate directly."

And this is what will make the iPad stand out over netbooks. Really, we no longer are in an era where specs are that important. Specs are important on certain domains (gaming) but "computing on the go" is not one of them.



No, it can't. Long time reading can be very uncomfortable on a netbook,

I can't stand touch screens, I also need something I can feel. An example is for music, taking out the Iphone, unlocking it, staring at it while choosing the song I want, then putting it in my pocket every 3 minutes is close to hell.

Like what? Eating out when you can eat in? Turning the heat on when you can wear a sweater? Always ways to save money for toys

Regardless what comes out new, someone will buy it.
