    That's $100 more than the Asus Transformer! Not sure if it's worth that much for what's arguably less functionality...

    Don't like the idea of not being able to install software on it

    I bought a brand new netbook for $180. This is a tough sell...

    I picked up Acer A500. Really nice device, easy to use with BT keyboard, just got co-pilot, so with onboard GPS it works really well. Games run well, and videos looks pretty decent. I haven't touched my netbook HP311 since i got my tablet. Definitely a netbook replacement for me. With Kal el and quad core tablets on the way, netbooks are not worth buying IMHO.
