That's the fundamental flaw of these non-Apple devices. There really isn't any compelling use for them at these current price-points. iPads sell mostly to Apple consumers. Recently I bought a Nook Color primarily for reading epubs. It was $250. I could easily justify that purchase because I'm a heavy reader. However, if you already own a laptop, just how can you justify dropping $500-$800 on a tablet? I'm sorry, but "instant boot" isn't compelling. That justification smacks of trying to rationalize a bad purchase.
