Video games are the same way.

I went to check one out on the weekend.........it's quite alright, I like the capacative touchscreen better than the resistive screen on my asus, it seems quite solid too. And it does quite a bit of stuff and it does them quite well. I went with netbook because of the price and while I like the ipad I will not be assimilated

I do like it though...

[QUOTE=Maggie Leung;958847]JimKal and madman, which stylus do you use? Maybe I'll get one to take notes or doodle.

Maggie, I'm using the Pogo sketch. It is available at the Apple store. It is kind of light and flimsy but it works. In fact, I returned and bought two more for when, inevitably, I misplace it. I would prefer something a bit more substantial - I tend to like a heavier pen but this works fine. I use it without even thinking about it.

Hmmm .... sounds like a future fanboi to me!

We all like apple products.

We don't like the pricetags.

Thanks for the link madman..

I've been meaning to get one of these too. Sometimes it's just easier to quickly note something with a stylus...and it's just no fun to not be able to doodle on books anymore : )
