Because some of us, actually want a computer with more power than the iPad, or because the App store is a bad idea for end users and developers, or because some of us use netbooks and smaller laptops as our mobile coding machines when this thing doesn't even have a keyboard.

Absolutely right; however, I'm trying to think about a large segment of consumers... I see no justification for buying a PC unless the user is a professional who really is tied to a particular workflow.

1) How easy is the keyboard to use? I imagine most ppl at least occasionally need to do typing. (er, most ppl who can afford a $500 tablet). 2) I don't see many advantages of the tablet. A dead-simple ChromeOS netbook will run faster, do more, and be cheaper.
