If they pull off half of those amazing experiences, I'm sold. It appeals to me in that I'm more of a "Hectic meeting, client note taking, sketching, offsite requirements gathering, business minded" kind of guy, and less of a "watch tv, play games, and browse the web on the couch" sort of guy lol. It's really hard for me to justify the price tag, even for the above mentioned things in your article. CSS Development on an iPad would get you only a 6th of the story, as browser checking would be nigh impossible without vnc'ing back to your desktop (which, from the specs on the hardware, seems like that would be glitchy and a nightmare). I want to believe in the dream of using that thing as a work machine too, but I just can't seem myself being even remotely productive like I could even on my 11.6" hackintosh haha. I'm honestly just grasping at anything possible to love this thing, and it's increasingly hard. The courier however, makes _me_ increasingly hard =p hahaha. Great article man! Edit: Your captcha is the most difficult thing I've ever tried to read haha. That thing owns spammers =p Yes… but have you seen the Courier o_O

I know many people, who want to see that the thing is worth the effort - to pay for comfortable work. As for me, i see a new "glam thing", they are attending for the appearance -- not for the things "inside". Ok, that’s your opinion about price, but for others it can be very important.

As for how I'd carry it, etc, it's virtually the same as the EeePC. When I get the iPad I'll probably also get a very small satchel bag in which to carry it and a few other miscellaneous things. That'll be a big improvement over my enormous, overstuffed backpack that's now falling apart. @Nastassja I don’t mind the price. As for how I’d carry it, etc, it’s virtually the same as the EeePC.

Where does one stick the iPad? What do you do when it rains? (c) Matt Kelly and this is not "little device"..:) It looks like a big spade and not so functional. I really cant find good reasons to forget about netbooks and starting to use iPad. P.S. Sorry for my english. I'm belarussian :) But iPad is very expensive thing, also not so comfortable to take it somewhere.

I could easily make an image which shows a dozen checkboxes for the iPad and only one for the EeePC. I wouldn't because that's not a sensible way to compare products. Some of the checkboxes are actually inaccurate, too. Before the iPad came out I was wanting to get a netbook like the EeePC. I never considered it a high priority because, like Jobs said, they're not better at anything my laptop already does. The iPad is nice because of the platform and it's (IMHO) better portability/usability over the EeePC. Who gets excited about the EeePC as a platform?
