Netbook for $330 vs. iPad

The info below is from David Pogue at the NYT. If we can get a netbook for $330 vs an iPad for $499 that means that 3 iPads are equal in cost to almost 5 netbooks. Should we also do a test of netbooks?

Seven hours of battery life and an Intel dual-core Atom processor give this Acer enough power and stamina to lead this category. The 10-inch screen isn’t the most brilliant display, and the 250-gig hard drive is pretty much standard storage fare. But the light weight (2.5 pounds), full-size keyboard and full complement of ports — three USB ports, Ethernet, multimedia card slot, and webcam — plus a neat array of colors (aquamarine, anyone?) make this a good choice for the netbook customer on a budget.
