Good point.
And I'm just jealous because I don't have $500 to spend on an iPad. Seriously, if my iPod touch ever breaks (32GB, $300), I will spend $200 and get an iPad. I have a BestBuy replacement plan, so they will just let me put the price of the iPt to another device.
Really? I thought that part of the policy only applied when there is no "comparable technology". Assuming that there will probably always (at least for the length of your protection plan, since they only go four years max) be a 32GB iPod touch, wouldn't you just have to get that?
If what you said is really the case, that's good to know. Because the way it was explained to me was just like I said previously.
In reference to the original post.. I think it really only destroyed the Netbook market. I have an iPad and i've never, once, used the Maps app or any navigation app. I don't think i've ever even opened it. If I am in a car without navigation, I use my phone.. I wouldn't pull out my iPad for this.
