No Flash
No Flash is annoying but not a dealbreaker on the iPhone and iPod Touch. On something that's supposed to be closer to a netbook or laptop? It will leave huge, gaping holes in websites. I hope you don't care about streaming video! God knows not many casual internet users do. Oh wait, nevermind, they all do.

Netbooks make me want to put my penis in a large vice and tighten very slowly whilst whistling Dixie.

Never was a more worthless fucking gadget introduced. Ever. FFS.

And the 8 people who have actually bought them will bear witness to this fact.

Truth.

I think the iPad is too heavy for what it is.

I don't want an underpowered tablet. I don't want a netbook.

I WANT A i5 or i7 MACBOOK PRO!!!!!!!!!!!

not really, nope.

1.6ghz 140gb hd, 2gb ram, ~10 hour battery life, winxp.
great value for money, and great spec considering the diminutive size.

netbooks are a new niche - cheap and ultra portable. They'll obviously always be a step behind spec wise. What do you expect ?

The problem for me with netbooks is that they were introduced simply because no one could really get their shit together in terms of a proper tablet product. Well, okay. The tech just wasn't quite there. Now that's all about to change.

While the iPad and other tablets may not kill the Lemur (though I'm not gonna hold my breath on that), they sure as shit are going to kill netbooks. :arrow:
