Can you connect a camera or autoguider to an Ipad though? The reason I like netbooks is that they are relatively cheap and if you drop one in the dark or it gets sodden with moisture its not your $1500 lappy that bites the dust. IPads would be great for running planetarium software if thats all you need but they are the price of a modest laptop, which while not as sleek or convenient, can do more tasks. Mind you, I have never owned an IPad, IPod or IPhone. Perhaps the "I's" have it
