Will the iPad establish a new market or will it be a footnote in Apple’s history?

One advertisement, aired during the 1984 Superbowl, effectively changed the course of consumer electronics technology. that ad was Apple’s launch of the Mac. Building on the imagery associated with Orwell’s novel 1984, it implied that users could break free from products of another, much larger, company.The ad – only aired once, incidentally – positioned Apple as a mould breaker and, since then, Apple has cleverly – and carefully – managed its image. now, every January, the world waits with eager anticipation for Steve Jobs’ to unveil the company’s latest consumer ‘toy’.

It’s an exciting and interesting morning for Netbook fans, as full official details and even system reviews of new Netbooks bearing Intel’s next-generation Atom processors have emerged.

However, does the timing annoy you?

While we’ve known new Atom Netbooks were around the corner for months now, the announcement hits just three days before Christmas Eve and after the last weekend of holiday shopping. does the new Atom make you want a new Netbook or regret getting one this holiday? On the other hand, do the modest gains from the new Atoms make you want an ultralow-voltage thin-and-light with a faster processor instead, or a next-gen smartphone/smartbook/tablet that could do HD video just as well?
