I bought a $700 xp netbook instead.
I looked at the price of an ipad 2 and decided I would rather have a $700 touchscreen net book with better specks instead. Ipads may be trendy but they are limited and expensive as well. If Microsoft ever manages to make soothing trendy as well as practical and inexpensive then apple will be in real trouble in that market as they rely on having the trendiest product in a market to sell things at an inflated price.
