On the day of the iPad’s introduction my wife received a new iPod Touch from her employer. That meant her old Touch came to me. I spent my first serious time with it last night and that time confirmed what I already knew: I’m just not a Mac person. I’ll stick with the netbook until it burns up or breaks down. Maybe by then there’ll be something in the Apple section that tempts me.
From RegHardware:
Apple CEO Steve Jobs was rather dismissive of the netbook at the iPad’s launch last night. He needed to be: he was trying to win over journalists and analysts who’ve spent the last 18 months or so asking when his company will release just such a product - and telling readers why it really should.
Jobs’ criticisms were certainly unfounded. He slammed them as “slow” and sporting “low-quality displays”. The problem with them, he said, is that ” netbooks aren’t better than anything”.
Wrong on most counts, Steve. (more)

OK, after watching the above video I am tempted… as a reader if nothing else.

“No netbook killer” and would you believe “Touch now outselling iPhone”?
