Unexpectedly low Apple iPad price forces notebook vendors to re-evaluate their tablet PC strategies

Interesting twist on what, I think, really happened. Apple's attempt at a $999 tablet turned out to be a slick netbook with a touchscreen. Considering netbooks (w/out the touchscreen) can go for around $299, it is no wonder Apple was forced to drop the price. Don't get me wrong, the iPad is a cool device and will have the typical Apple fanatics behind it, but there is definitely an opportunity for competitors.

This whole thing is going to be a semantics and marketing war. People have called it a netbook, a large iPhone, a tablet, etc.

IMHO
