He's trying to find a parallel product... it's what you do if you can't imagine anything new....

OTB
LOL!
Wrong again bottie.
It's getting to be a habit, NO?

Apple is trying to create a need for a new product, something that dazzles you ad guys like crazy!...

Doesn't everyone already have a notebook? The iPad is a new class of device with a new (and very large) market. Can't you guys see that.

No, they can't. Two years from now when the iPad has a sizable market share, they'll be saying to themselves; "how the hell did Apple pull it off?" It'll be deja vu all over again like the iPhone.

I'm sure some members can't understand why the iPod was so successful either.... You have to wonder if these are the people who build PCs or radios at home because it's cheaper...

At 200,000 iPad sales a week (2x Mac sales) I'd say we're there on sizable.....

Obviously your Yank pal is as challenged as you Meds-man if things like that impress the pants off him. When using a laptop/netbook I have none of those issues that befuddle him so.....

The 3lb+ netbook comparisons are silly.. netbooks are nothing but crippled notebooks.. No accelerometers, no touch screen hardware or software, not available with 3g networking out of the box..

Fair enough!
That would make the iPad an even MORE cripped device since it is far more limited than a netbook .....only the crippled iPad costs double what a crippled netbook goes for!....

Yes and no IMO.

For some is fare comparison if they are looking to see if iPad will handle all the tasks previously handled by their cheapo netbooks. So it all comes down to what those specific consumers are buying the pad for .

For me, those crippled netbooks suit me need perfectly. And they are relatively cheap.

Effing Allelujah I say : D

That's because Apple is merely targeting Rubes who are easily influenced by slick 'bright & shiny' ad campaigns!....
