The response to the iPad looks AWESOME! I would love to have one but, its not some thing I need so I probably won't get one even if I had the money. AND it runs win7.

Good to see there's competition. But I'm with you, I don't get the point. Laptops, these and phones, they all get online. The difference is that a laptop is more powerful, has more features and capabilities, cheaper to purchase and operate (monthly bills and whatnot). I used to want a PSP or iPod Touch but since I got my laptop, that desire has completely gone from me.

I might consider getting on of these if A) its around the same price as a laptop WITH that laptop docking station. And B) Its powerful enough to do what I would do with a laptop, web browsing/music listening/word processing WITH similar battery life. If it can meet these requirements I MAY consider getting one when I go to buy a laptop for college.

Just put linux on that sucker and youve got a pretty powerful slate

It wouldn't have the same power as a laptop and never will (ok, maybe a 5-10 year old laptop). Just like laptops will never be as powerful as desktops of the same vintage.

This is pointless. Our market is not yet ready to support the iPads or its competitors, and all this will do is create a new trend --which we know people will follow-- and reduce the autonomy of computing market. People will not have a laptop and a Pad for the purpose of doing what a laptop alone would do, only less fashionable. Consumerism.
As for the Asus; Most of you know where I stand in regards to Apple's latests doings. For those who don't, let's just say I am not much of a fan of it, at this point in time. They are creative in their approach and science search, regardless. I wholeheartedly believe Mac needs to have a competitor to compete with, as otherwise the computing science might as well just get stuck in the pipe whenever Apple drains off. As true as this might be, there is no company capable of crossing fire with Apple (yet) at this point in time. The iPad is years-light from any of its competitors. Rather than working towards creating something as good as (debatable permisse) to rival the iPad, companies should be looking at how overpowering and outsmarting the excellence that is iPad.
I will neither get iPad nor the Asus.
They can both suck my balls.

I like Dann's argument. He has an opinion.
