11.6 Inch MacBook Air

Apple announced today a new 11.6″ MacBook Air, it will retail for $999 according to this Engadget article.
The Specs for what is basically Apple’s addition to the Netbook market are:
dual-core 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU (upgradeable to 1.6GHz)
1366 x 768 resolution screen
64GB SSD (upgradeable to 128GB)
2GB or 4GB DDR3 RAM options
NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics card.
What I don’t quite get is who this device is supposed to be for… At $999 it is waaay above the average price of a netbook. (And most full size laptops) And if you are an Apple fan, wouldn’t you just get an iPad for your trips down to the coffee shop?
Not that I wouldn’t want to own one, but $1000 buys a lot of stuff these days.
