most of the appe are stuff you can do on websites. so they are pointless. like facebook app, other social networking apps, etc....
and most of the apps you gotta pay for were allready free back in 1998. like their 15 dollar dj app is exaclt like this BPMix pro app that was free in 1998. the 'painting' apps are just rehashed ms paint and old pspro with a shiny new interface. the ipad is nothing new. just old stuff in a new package with some shiny and flashy graphics. netbooks can do more at much less of a price, and the best part... MORE FREE APPS!

Should netbooks be compared to the ipad..nah
Should tablets be compared to the ipad..yah.. are any Tablets as good ?..nah
And about the apps thing. Would you rather press an icon with a big F on it, or open safari, type
www.facebook.com, type in your login details, and then press login, to ultimately arrive at an inferior design to the Facebook app ? Oh and the facebook app is free too.
I really dont see why people compare the iPad to netbooks. Thats like comparing headphones to speakers.. or desktops to laptops.
And yes, the iPad should have things like a webcam and a HD screen, but this is there first iteration of the thing. Netbooks if everyone really insist on comparing them are on about there 5th iteration, with numerous models, from about 10 manufacturers.
