After CES 2011, we’ve seen a lot of tablet coming out this year in all shapes and sizes. Everybody’s coming out with their own iPad competitor and with Android 3.0 Honeycomb finally in the release stage, this should be more exciting.
There’s just so many manufacturers who are into tablets (specifically the Android flavor) — Asus, Acer, Lenovo, Toshiba, BlackBerry (RIM), Dell, MSI, HP and so many more (including local ones such as Cherry Mobile, RedFox and China-based Huawei).
With all the press tablets are getting, the netbooks seems to be left in the dust. Nothing really new to add to an already-mature device like netbooks.
Before, it was an easy choice when given the option to pick a netbook over a tablet. This year, I think it’s going to be different and people will be thinking a lot harder given the same circumstances (so much so if the netbook in question is a secondary device).
So let me hear your thoughts — would you pick a tablet over a netbook or the other way around?
correction..
1. A Netbook less than 11 inches (ION or AMD Fusion)
2. A Smartphone greater than 3 inches (pref. Android)
3. And a PSP! (or PSP2 coming this year.. i hope. =)
(now im a typo freak. hehe sorry for multi-posts =)

I’d rather invest the cash on a smartphone or a laptop since netbooks and tablets really doesn’t offer anything unique and with the work I have a tablet or netbook won’t really help me, my iphone can already do what these devices can
have to agree with ETHAN, i think a fusion will happen between notebooks and netbooks.
tablets are different device altogether and i could relate this more to my smartphone than with my laptop/notebook. can’t do all of the things with my ipad that i can do with my notebook or with my netbook.
i think a slow demise of the desktop is more probable and a fusion between netbooks and notebooks.
i use my laptop at work/home and my netbook when i travel. my ipad, i use mostly for fun and slice fruits =)

In the long run, I think the tablet will be the dominant device. (Maybe not for affluent gadget-loving Yugatech readers, but for the masses.) Just wait for the China tablets to become stable.
a tablet for reading, especially if its way lower than kindle. it’s lighter and more portable than my laptop.

pwede bang mag install ng itunes app sa kahit anong tablet? Joke lng he he
let see..hmmm…
can i edit photo/movie using Photoshop/Corel with my not so powerfull netbook,,,probably…but no…
can i develop games, creates website with my netbook..probably..but no…screen to small…
can i play hi-def games on netbook….no
why do i use my netbook? internet, browsing, probably PvZ, as MP3 player, sometime portable movie player…well, the tablet (with newer chipset and processor) can do that…and the tablet is less bulky…
battery issues i guess are the same over netbooks and tablets….
id been to a laptop..as well as the netbook..and now I already have at last the tablet that i been waiting for “archos 70 250Gb version..pinabili ko lng sa brother ko dyan satin since andito ako sa UAE pahirapan din maka score ng unit nato..halos lahat narin naman ng ginagawa ko sa laptop at netbook ay nagagawa nadin ng tablets so therefore mas mainam na gamitin ang mga tablets now coz wherever you’re on the go it is easy to carry..i have wifi in my showroom at work and house after work..and while I’m on the go i can listen to songs and watch some of my favorite movies..mainggit na ang mga katabi ko sa metro train d2 sa dubai but tablet really change our mobile life on the go..

Tama yung sinabi ni steve jobs, ang netbook mabagal. It’s better to have a tablet para mabilis ang browsing. But i prefer to get an android tablet instead of an apple ipad 2nd generation. You can use your usb modem, external hard drive for the next version on android. hdmi output, can play hd videos, games, and meron flash 10.1 na wala sa iPad na sobrang smooth. Portability wise mas ok ang tablet. Ang netbook mabagal, mabigat at mabilis pa maubos ang battery at matagal pa magboot.
Pero it’s still a matter of your usage. But i go with a tablet now since i have a netbook.
I am a rough user (moist fingers, smoking while typing, eating while surfing, even doing the laundry while checking emails). May be if tablets get better processors at an affordable cost, i’ll change my mind.
I still go for laptop, I don’t think it can be replaced by tablet pc in terms of usability. May I add that tablet pc now has a dual core on it. Check this link Ipad China Dual Core
