    Have a cow, thinner is thinner. No one is saying how much better 0.2 mm would be. I am sure when Apple release a 8.4mm ipad, you would probably blow your load.

    Well I love my iPad. Would like an iPad 2. Even so this tablet could give apple a little competition. But the thing that truly sets apple apart is it's OS. But who knows, google and windows may be able to equal Apple in the next few years or even less. Still I'll stick with apple just cause I'm totally satisfied. But new comers to this tech market are gonna have so many awesome options!

    I still don't understand this whole tablet (slate) phase. I mean for cheaper I could get a better spec'd and more capable. Tablets are a consumption device (a very good one too) but netbooks are that with the added capability of creation. But to each their own, I guess/rant

    good. by the time you think microsoft and google are equal to apple, you'll be outdated. iOS? first so-called smartphone OS released in 2007 without 3g and voice command support, if that satisfied you, you must be still living in stone age.

    Netbooks don't have 3G. Or touchscreen, keyboardless technology. They are a completely different thing to a tablet!Anyway, samsung may have some better features, ie cameras, but it's still a samsung, they're ****! As are motorola. I'll stick with my iPad 2!

    Tablet is a new category device. Netbook is the same thing as Notebook but with lower specs. You don't need a netbook if you already own a notebook. That being said, you don't need an iPad if you got an iPhone and a laptop. It is still the kind of device that is not essential in our everyday's lives. More of 'something that you can buy if you got extra cash-

    If apple users are iSheeps according to you, then the majority of the world's smartest people are iSheep. Apple users include doctors, lawyers, scientists, engineers, teachers and more. We're all doomed.

    I don't think he was implying that all Apple users are iSheep, just that there is a subgroup of Apple users that will buy an Apple product no matter what, regardless of how useless it is or how good competitors' options are.

    duh! windows users have been buying windows products, just because they are windows products, and of far inferior quality than Apple... and you don't hear us bitching about that, now, do you?

    You are all a joke. Most of us purchase Apple products because of the ability to jailbreak! That is why we are here in this website right now. It's called iPhone Hacks for a reason, not Apple Fans. You Android fans on the other hand lick Google's ass by coming to this site. Android phones will outsell the iPhone because Apple has only ONE phone that they update each year. Judging by this article, Google is planning the same strategy with tablets by having their software in these two.I like these tablets but come on, Flash? The most annoying popups have flash. Not to mention the battery consumption. Even Adobe is giving into Apple's demands to use HTML5.

    Like Steve said when first introduced the iPad in 2010 - netbooks aren't better at anything. They are just slower.
