The article's basic point: Tablets will kill netbooks because netbooks aren't tablets.
Look at some of his reasons...
- "The Major Issue with netbooks is that they lack touch screens"
- "Netbooks are boring...Tablets feature touch screens, they have mobile apps and they offer more aesthetically"
- "Apple is a major preesence in the tablet industry...[netbooks] don't have the same "innovation factor" that Apple delivers"
- "Consumers and enterprise are finding that there is value to be had in using mobile third-party apps. They might not deliver the same power that Windows Programs can but netbooks are underpowered" (I paraphrased this one for length)
In the end he never really makes the case for tablets he simply treats tablet features as inherently superior and then dings the netbook for not having them
(personally I do think netbooks are going to die but at the hands of super-thin notebooks)
