Technically a netbook will do most of the same things. A PS3 essentially does the same things a 360 does. Same as the Xbox and PS2, same as the PS1 and Dreamcast. That said there are reasons why people own both. There are times when one platform beats the other or has something the other doesn't. I do feel that the iPad has things netbooks don't and that it will be good. I really hope it changes things like the iPhone did too.

You're on Boat Drinks, reading the signature your signature could be like.

Did you see the Windows 7 based iTablet the other day?

They've been vague about specs but Intel 1.6GHz = Atom, so it looks like it's basically going to be a netbook with no keyboard, with a webcam, USB, 250GB HDD, optional HDMI, Bluetooth etc. etc.

(screen shot is XP but I think the pic is just a cheap mock up)

Having seen how Windows 7 handles multitouch I can see it being very good.
