Weaker software, lower build quality? Have you even used the ipad? Its a beefed up ipod touch, not a scaled down laptop. The netbook wins from many perspectives.

The multi-touch is sexy, i'll admit. but form is not greater than function. Imagine chatting, posting on HN, or uploading photos to Flickr. These 3 easy actions are not easily handled on the ipad.

<edit> I have never used it and cannot comment on the build quality (which is the point i was trying to make. Sorry!)



You forgot doing all that while listening to mp3s and driving a 60" tv as a second monitor showing a movie.
