But the iPad has a 10 inch screen, so is pretty much as large as a netbook. If
you add a docking station to that, it will be quite bulky.
I'll wait to see before I form conclusions, but regardless of how neat it
sounds, I'm still really hard pressed to figure out why I need one.

For me, the main advantage is that we can get the Doc keyboard station which is
really small and convenient, and use the iPad with an actual physical keyboard
to take notes quickly. Basically it's a very very small laptop. Now, if the
keyboard thing is not as small or portable as I hope it will be, then I guess
it's not such a good idea to use it...
