Perhaps the intersection of people who think "it's just a big phone and I really want a laptop" and people who develop for android is quite high.
I don't know if that's true, but it's still a really intriguing question, thank you! The follow-up also seems relevant: What is the intersection between people who think "it's just a big phone and I really want a laptop" and people who buy android?
If the market for android tablets is also the market for netbooks, that could be a problem. Apple is going out of their way to distance the iPad from netbooks and sell to people who don't want a laptop--or already have one and are buying this as a third device after their phone and laptop.
