As far as classification, yes the iPad is a tablet computer. The term, laptop, today refers to a portable computer. In comparison, tablets are are UMPCs (ultra-mobile PCs) UMPCs are small, flat netbooks, netbooks are small notebooks, and notebooks are small laptops.

However, because the iPad is very advanced, and has over 100,000 available applications, it starts to crossover into the netbook field. If you take into consideration what the common uses for a netbook are, the iPad covers them all.

mossberg thinks in the ipad is a laptop and netbook -.-, i swear this dude is a noob. it doesn't do things a computer or netbook can do. it just plays videos, movies, pictures, songs, ebook, etc..

HAHAHA, what? She tries to spin in negatively because the 3G has a monthly cost, which is actually a great price (50% off)..

These guys don't know tech and the don't know the stock market. Market investments (big volume) are projecting about 18 months out. She's trying to connect the iPad announcement with the movement of the stock price THAT DAY. Its a little crazy since we already knew Apple was doing this like 3 months ago, and its already been factored into the stock.
