I'd rather buy an iPad than a netbook. Both are pretty much useless for actual work so I may as well spend the money on whatever plays Angry Birds better.

I don't think I'll ever own a netbook; I just simply don't have any use for one unless I decided to start developing mobile apps based on Linux specifically for netbooks for whatever reason.

It's kind of a shrinking market considering that full spec laptops continue to get lower and lower in price.

Work-wise, depending on your field, there are plenty of work place applications for tablets, but if you design and create content itself, about the only thing a tablet is good for currently is to display your work to prospective clients or co-workers/bosses with the speed of handing them a print out. It's actually not such a bad reason to have one.

That's the point. I was being a smart ass. A tablet really offers me nothing, though I can see how others would find them useful.
