iPad Aftershocks: Apple's Netbook Is Screwing Netbook Makers

iPad Aftershocks: Apple's Netbook Is Screwing Netbook Makers - apple ipad - Gizmodo:

"The iPad is Apple's netbook. It's small, built for the web, and cheap. Which is a problem for the people who make actual netbooks, since they wanted to undercut Apple. And it's hard to get cheaper than glorified smartphone guts.

Originally, according to Digitimes, Asus and MSI wanted to undercut whatever the iPad would cost by 20 to 30 percent, but that was when they expected it to cost $1000, which made it kinda easy."
