What device browses the internet, runs flash, multi-tasks, runs Hulu, Netflix, Youtube and just about anything? A netbook attached to your TV! I've been doing it for a few months and it works great. Netflix, for example, as a feature of a DVD player, only offers what you've already qued. You need to be able to browse and pick whatever you feel like from their "instant watch".
I also use the netbook to do some Skype video phone. Doing that off a 30" tv is way fun. Reading comics with the "Comic Book Reader" software is also very cool on a large screen.

Comparison chart of various tablets
Gizmodo has a nice chart comparing features of tablets. Click here to check it out.
Netbooks are weak!
You need this! The Alienware m11x netbook! Pack this in your lan bag with a 24" lcd, external kb and mouse and head to a lan party!

Bill Gates vs. Steve Jobs
Around the same times, while Jobs was trying to change the world with a shiny new toy, Bill Gates announced that $10,000,000,000 of his dough was going to his foundation to help cure disease in the world. Jobs later ranted that Google's "Do no evil" is bullshit . And we think Microsoft is bad?
Steve Jobs' advise
Stay away from those Kindles and iPads because this smart guy, Steve Jobs, says that people don't read anymore. That means you nub!
Leo LaPorte hates my netbook
Leo says that netbooks are too weak, that users will just buy them and realize the mistake and get something else and that they are disposable and maybe you'll keep one for a year. This from the guy that changes phones, and probably cpus, weekly or monthly?
As I sit here in my recliner, with my netbook dual-monitoring a 30" LCD running netflix instant watch video and it's little 8" screen with a browser running a bunch of tabs, and my usb mouse and kb on my lap, I have to wonder what the problem is. The video is smooth even with a bunch of tabs and internet stuff running. And I don't even have a beefy ion with nvidia graphics or the mighty Dell Alienware m11x (could you get me one for xmas?). At $300 it's probably 1/2 of one of the iPads that Leo will probably buy a dozen of.
And unlike the iPad or my pet rock, it runs Flash, multi-tasks, DOS programs and every windows program I throw at it. You wouldn't want to try to run Crysis on it but then Leo's Nexus One and iPad won't do that either.
And you won't see white screens with little blue tiles, like the iPad, on every cool kid site with flash games or video. And it runs bittorent programs which I hear can be useful to the unscrupulous user!
And it's never crashed.
