I love that -- why buy a netbook and hack in a touchscreen, when you can buy an expensive locked down tablet, then accessorize it with a bluetooth keyboard and folding case?!

Yeah, the advantages, of course, do exist -- for some it's about UI over functionality, for some it's about battery life (seriously, bring on the ARM netbooks already!), and there's always the detachability of the iPad if you need/want "clipboard-mode" -- but it just strikes me as hilarious, especially in light of Apple's anti-netbook stance.
