I'll make a compairson........I will bet 
In Response To: wrong comparison ()
That there are a LOT MORE people that have NetBooks, that say to themselves "I wish that I had an iPad
And a LOT LESS people that have an iPad, and say to themselves "I wish that I had a NetBook"
Jerry, on the Apple Link below they show some of the latest news about iPads and some of the new apps. One is "A “quiet revolution” in the autistic community focuses on using iPad for teaching communication and social skills to autistic children".
Any thing like this happening over on the NetBook side of the discussion here?
