Also the digital frames are increasing in size and coming down in price.



Look, if you are in the pit of a Philharmonic orchestra, the Music Pad Maestro 1) fits on a stand made for it, and with the tap of a foot or the tap of a finger, will advance one page forward. A digital frame doesn't have the page advance and search functions that a Music Pad Maestro would have. A net book has some problems too, including aesthetic problems and the potential that a violinist might bump into the keyboard as he's leaning forward to read the music.

I think the Maestro would be better if it had e-ink like the Kindle that doesn't strain the eyes as much as a LCD, especially if you spend hours each day reading music.

But iPhones and iNanos aren't of the same size or of the same level of functionality as a Macbook.

The iPad is much more in line size-wise and ability (and in the public's perception) as a Notebook/Laptop. Hence my reasoning.
