Funny enough, I consider a 5 inch tablet nothing more than a toy...
Yes, it's a toy. But an affordable toy
There I wanted something light, able to read music and video. And the IT5 excels at that. I feel like carrying my IT5 everyday. A netbook or iPad on the other hand, weight too much.
It's indeed more of a PMP than a tablet. On the other hand I can't see what service a 10" tablet would do the IT5 don't, save on the comfort side.

The issue I have with netbooks is that they're often not powerful enough for the OS and programs they run, when they go to sleep, it can take upwards of a minute (in some cases) to have a usable desktop again,
win 7 is not **that long** to start.
** run windows ** was on my requirement list, because of one program I wanted to run. The few tablets that have windows on it, and the required power to run it decently costs $$$. And there is a virtual keyboard taking space on an already small screen. Finally decided for a netbook, that was the right choice for me.
