Assuming it is what I'm expecting it to be, sign me up. Would prefer a slightly smaller screen but it's close enough. Portable browsing, document reading, document creation, skteching (can't wait to see the UI for the obvious photo editing app!) - there are all kinds of everyday, relatively non-glamorous uses for this where it would absolutely trump a netbook.
At $200/netbook I really don't see this as an either/or decision - all these devices are now cheap enough and powerful enough that IMO they should be thought of as point tools - so choose the right tool for the job (which of course varies from user to user).
I know a guy who has set up an elderly family member with an older netbook, running Ubuntu, that does nothing but sit in the kitchen, start up Firefox on booting, and load Recipes.com. That's it. That's it's sole purpose in life - to surf Recipes.com.
And that's A Good Thing.
IMO, etc. |
