More ipads sold per week than all mac models put together

If it comes to an argument of iPad vs. Netbook, the iPad is a better value but the Netbook probably matches what you have at work.

When it comes down to iPad vs. Notebook, the Notebook is a real-sized computer with a real-sized keyboard and can do much more.

Ironically, all three cost about the same. (Walk down to Office Depot or some similar store if you don't believe me).

The personal user might be happy with the iPad, to the best of my knowledge, you can't MS Office on an iPad. And that makes it tough for business users (which is why people buy Netbooks).

The reason for Apple's leadership right now is its distribution system. Having a Windows Mobile phone, I can appreciate how much easier it is for to find Apps to download on my wife's iPhone. But that closed system may eventually be its undoing -- watch the H264 Codec wars where Apple is being challenged by Microsoft AND Google.

As for gaming, PC gaming of the Flash type is in the greatest position of vulnerability from the iPad. (The iPod and to a lesser extent the iPhone are more in the price range of handheld video game machines).
