Depends on use of course, but I'd say that comparison is the most accurate I've seen. Certainly, more so than any of the others I've seen including the often sited iPad v. MacBook one. That said as an Air or iPad likely wouldn't be ones powerhouse computer (though either could possibly be primary one), I'd rather have a iPad over an Air for consuming purposes. And I don't see the tablet as a "third channel" but as a eventual laptop replacement for most, the way the laptop has become a desktop replacement for most. Probably the same for iPhone OS over full-blown OS X. Eventually, the need for a laptop, like the need now for a powerful desktop, will be specialty uses. I suspect this would have been further along by now if MS did any real GUI innovation. Will be Apple and/or Google now.

I think the revolutionary concept is it won't be a glorified netbook.

As I mentioned above, I have flat feet. Have worn supplementary arch supports (cast when younger, generic more recently) nearly all my life. Figured I'd give these a try. At worst I'd have expensive slippers. At best everyday "sneakers" (not a runner). Wasn't sure which way it was going when my hamstrings, back, neck and shoulders hurt the first few days (ignoring directions and wearing all day). Anyway, my posture and stride has changed and although there are foot/toe types they warn against use with, flat feet isn't on that list. If my experience is at all representative, I wouldn't add it. I know it's gonna sound fanatical, but f*%k it, I think my legs and lower back are stronger now. Coupled with the posture change, I think that's why my feet hurt less.

No, that's the other one.

As some sharks fear dolphins (they have been witnessed - usually by sailors saved - raming sharks gills), maybe that "oooo" is their sarcastic "ohhh sharks" victory cry! Yes, I have a Navy-era dolphin tattoo.
