There was a lot of hype about how netbooks will be dead with the launch of ipad . According to me ipad will not really replace the Netbook, though it was supposed to do so !
ipad is good , you can watch videos, browse web and also use it as an ebook reader but well it is still not a pc , it cant do everything pc can do.
Netbooks can multitask, run flash have better storage capacity and have this web enabled for video chats.
And what on earth was apple thinking when not having a removable battery for ipad ! Netbooks have two USb ports which ipad lacks along with playing of media other than provided by apple via itunes .
And yeah netbook have a physical keyboard too. Now there is an additional adapter to import images for the ipad . Yeah keep it up , the xpenses who cares !
So well I think netbook isn’t going to replace the ipad anytime soon. Not the first gen atleast. For now lets call ipad a kindle killer
