Uhm, not sure I agree with your idea of "value for money."

The iPad does have a fairly "specialized, expensive screen." Look up LED and IPS. Until the recent $600 Dell and $900 Apple monitors, this was technology found only in very expensive pro monitors.

The purpose of the iPad is not be a cheap netbook. Is it perfect? Far from it. But I don't see anything else coming close to it, right now, for what it does.
