There's a netbook tablet that has just been released by Lenovo. $500. So for the price of the entry level IPad, you get a tablet plus a keyboard, webcam, usb ports, and 15x the storage space, as well as a full OS and compatibility with Hero Lab. Apple smug not included.

I guess Bestbuy had them going for $450, but they sold out already.
