iPad General Features:

9.7 inches LED Screen (1024 x 768 pixel resolution)- this is definitely a good replacement for netbooks and ebook readers. Surely an advantage over the OLED screen.

One setback though for the iPAd is the absence of camera which is very essential for video conferencing and skpying.
