Seriously, what does a tablet do that my netbook doesn't? #nexus7
Fast zombies or slow zombies?

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

Point to Jonathon Barton, but the iPads don't fit your pocket, either. Neither do the Galaxy 10" Tabs.
Tablets are just another platform for a portable device that people enjoy using. The thing with the iPad and now the Nexus 7, you can easily replace a netbook or laptop (to a certain extent) with them. I think tablets serve a purpose in the ecosystem of technology, and it's one more step further into giving us that "all in one device."
Not to mention you get $25 for free for play store.
I have a laptop, a netbook and an Android phone. I don't see how I would need a tablet.
As with any device, I don't think a tablet is for everyone nor do I think any tablet can do everything as well as a laptop can. The form factor and interface do make some things easier or possible.
Netbooks should be completely replaced by the Asus Transformer type dockable tablets.
