As I said in another comment, I use rail every day to and from work. For coding, the netbook wins hands down. It runs a bare minimum WinXP setup(i.e. no virus scanner or loads of services to start up), so I get done what I need to. I'd much rather use it for photo processing / writing emails etc. also. Of course, once I start needing remote connectivity for work, I'll have to use the iPad.. the netbook battery only lasts around 1.5 hours.
