No, the iPad would be an alternative to surfing on the TV. But if I could do that on the TV (using the TV as the monitor) and check email, stuff like that, then I don't need an iPad. Or similar. I guess something like a Mac Mini (the new one) might work, but I've never really used one of those. I could build a small box PC, but most PCs are so geeky looking. It would work upstairs, though, but I want something that blends well downstairs. That Mac Mini is white, I think, which sort of messes up the look.

How would you surf on a TV with an iPad?

Personally at home I just have a cheapo dell hooked up with DVI to my TV. I 
watch Netflix/Hulu/DVDs/etc, web browse, and can play games. Wireless logitech 
keyboard+mouse.

I'd rather have a simple device to provide this functionality has I already 
have most other bases covered. So simple and inexpensive is good. I assume one 
would need some kind of keyboard.

Obviously, one option is an iPad type device, which I am considering as well.  
I've been trying to wait in the second version of iPad or an Android based 
slate device.
