Don't most netbooks have the same screen size as the iPad? I have a netbook, and I've never had a problem with the small scree size. I can take it to class, type my notes, surf the internet, IM friends, all at the same time.Originally Posted by treewing
Has anyone in here used a netbook? That screen is unbearable to me. And people keep comparing the iPad to netbooks, that is a completely different category.
People keep comparing the iPad to netbooks because the desired market would most appeal to the netbook crowd. I can see the iPad fitting a niche market but never dominating sales. It looks like an absolute pain to type on for extended periods of time, you either have to lay it flat on a table or prop it up against your knees while sitting. I won't attack someone who wants to go out and buy it, I just don't imagine it's practicality for most consumers.
