TBH, the only thing I can see this being more useful for than a netbook is reading ebooks, as I don't watch movies on my computer. And given that all it has is a standard, all be it nice, display I wouldn't buy one. E-ink is far superior for reading. I can see it being useful for grandma who can't remember how to right click, but given the closed nature of the device, no thanks. The hardware looks ok, but not spectacular. Not that that will stop Apple from making a boat load on them. At this point, Apple could sell rotting fruit and people would rave about how great it is and buy it by the truck load.
