Why don't you go watch a flash movie? Or maybe you could try listening to some music while you write a document (something that my winmo5 iPaq can do)...then you will feel restricted. That thing costs more than a netbook and has less capability.
BTW...From what you have said, it has about the same battery life as a modern netbook (on a non-replacable battery with a manufacturing problem...enjoy spending $100 to get a battery+device replaced every few months).
You're so off I am not even sure where to begin:
1. You can't watch a Flash movie on many devices. It doesn't really bother me on my Droid and it doesn't bother me on my iPad either.
2. You can listen to music and multitask. The things you can't multitask don't bother me, and they are coming out in the OS 4.0 update anyhow.
3. A netbook is a piece of junk, which is why they barely sell compared to an iPad. I had the same view until I bought an iPad. The netbook is basically an condensed laptop. It isn't designed from the ground up so the device is not made to run like a slate tablet.
4. A new battery every couple of months? lol Give me a break.
they already have an android tablet
ARCHOS
it may not the best or surpass the ipad but its nice
Archos ****ing sucks. I have an Archos tablet already. The battery life is good and the storage is awesome. However:
1. Customer service is completely non-existent. They are french, don't reply to emails, hold times are over an hour at least, and they are idiots.
2. I bought two things from Archos, both came with at least one stuck pixel on the screen, but they won't replace it because they say it's normal because they use low quality screens. One was green and one was red. So have fun watching a dark movie with an annoying crappy screen.
3. Every device you buy from them you MUST buy codecs separately. So if you want to watch an Xvid AVI - 20 bucks. You want to watch something with AC3 encoding? 20 bucks. They nickel and dime you to DEATH.
4. The touch screen is horrendous on the Archos products. So horrible that mine became a movie tablet only because surfing the internet, typing, etc was so terrible.
Trust me, nothing Archos makes comes even CLOSE to competing with the iPad. Plus the newer Archos products have less storage than the old ones and are still close to 500 bucks before you even buy the extra codecs etc. Not to mention the horrid reviews they generally get.
