    "iPad are no better at laptops than anything, they're just cheaper," Steve Jobs himself commented at the unveiling of the iPad in January.

    So far, there are at least 10 things that Netbooks still do better than an iPad: video chat, run Flash, do programming, upload photos or video from a camera, store more than 64GB of data, play Facebook games, swap batteries, install CD media (or any media other than from App Store), type on your lap, and upgrade.
