I don't get the need for these, I really don't. You could just get a small netbook for the same price, but I guess it's just me that I don't see the appeal of tablets :/. Also, I came in here expecting sick, where is it?

Netbook is still going to be a lot heavier than a tablet. I never saw the appeal of netbooks in the first place.

Plus I would rather leverage an app store like Android/iTunes than get whatever piecemeal offerings there are for netbooks.

Well my mother has 9-10' notebook, it's pretty light, the only bad thing about it is the fact that it's bloody pink, otherwise it's already reasonable small, has OK storage(250GB or something), runs windows 7 and can easily be carried around/placed on your lap if you're on a train or something ( I took it on the bus one day when I had to take it somewhere, it was a bit embarassing sitting there with a pink netbook with flower design on the lid). Also like 1/2GB RAM or something, and the best thing is it cost around £200 about 6 months ago, that's like $300, and laptops in UK are quite expensive too. If it has access to the internet, it's pretty much a computer, so I was even able to play minecraft on it(I think, don't remember if I did..). Whereas apps offer menial things and social and addictive games, angry birds and all that shizz - which I by the way get on my android phone.
