Netbooks are nice, but they are low on power. If they are strictly for surfing the net they are good. They will do a lot of other things too, but slowly.
I have wanted to get one for a while now but I realized that due to the computing limitations I'd probably just get frustrated
The one in the link comes with a rare duel core atom processor and 2 gigs, and 250 gig hard drive AND a "better then poor" nvidia graphics chip. In the reviews, users have been using Adobe Photoshop CS4 on it with no problems.
I have the Logos for iPhone app... don't like it. I have the same reason as you for wanting the iPad, i am almost always in reach of a wireless network, and the iPhone, while great, is too small for most stuff except brief email reads and brief responses. And lugging a laptop around is too inconvenient.
things like browsing AFF aren't all that enjoyable on it.
The limitations mentioned in the article OTF mentioned are concerns, but not show stoppers for me.
I requested a while back that admin add an iphone stylesheet so that the browsing experience of the forum on the iphone would be awesomeness. They already exist out there for vbulletin, and it should just be a simple implementation to detect iphone users.
Hoping it is still being considered...

Ok, but isn't that gonna be more power consumption? The whole point of having a netbook is being truely mobile (having a high battery life)

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
Well, I use mine a lot. Probably obsessively. Mostly data. But, if I didn't have it charging in the car and plugged into my laptop while I'm working, it would be dead each day by 2pm. And you can't swap out batteries.

I am thinking on it. I have had an iPhone for 8 months now and love it.
The thought of a touch screen that is big enough to read is intrigueing. Won't get the 3G version. I had been planning on buying an amzon kindle anyhow, this is better and there is a kindle app free in the itunes store.
You bet, I will be in line waiting. I can't wait to preach from it!
