I didn't see Jobs presentation on the ipad, just the video on the apple.com/ipad page along with some news write-ups... what I did see from the video was the ability/push to read online magazines, news sources and books. Not being able to run a chat program at the same time I see as a draw-back - not necessarily for me personally, but for younger generations that are constantly communicating on msn I see this as a missing feature. Maybe this is not Apple's target market with this device, or as you say, this is more of a reader device, not a netbook alternative - I was hoping it would be a netbook alternative.
