Poll: iPad

[Grieve]

I never understood the "Kindle is in black and white OMG!" arguments...umm arent books in black and white? The battery power is a significant difference. I dunno, the Kindle seems like something better for the serious reader, the iPad for someone who may pick up a Dan Brown book every once in awhile. The Kindle is a book replacement, the iPad is a device that can display books.

For $500 you can get an awesome netbook that has far more functionality than an iPad. Sure you won't look as "cool" but you can multi-task non Windows apps ;p

Most books are black and white, but what about magazines? Textbooks? Kids books? And battery life is 10 hours of video or 140 hours of music (with books somewhere in between). That's plenty. I have no problem putting the pad in a dock each night to recharge it.

And yes, you can get a netbook, but does it have multi-touch? That's the killer feature. So many things are so much easier with that. Plus the games are much more innovative...
