Netbooks will grow in popularity not decrease and any tech writer who is business savvy would acknowledge that. A more powerful atom processor, extended battery life and cheaper sold state memory, who could resist. Oh I forgot the apple fans who will pay 3 times more for 1/2 the performance. New flash, we are in an economic crunch. College students and those who still have some disposable income will continue to buy ultra lightweight netbooks that will not break the bank

If Apple builds it, I’ll buy it. Whatever the cost, to a point. No company in the business builds a better machine that works well, all the time

Constraints can be good. Having a device that only does the 20% of tasks you use 80% of the time is good for speed. It’s worth mentioning that the Eee still wasn’t quite as good as a Psion 3a. The design brief I’d like to set Apple is a computor that fits in my pocket &;
- starts immediatley in what ever application I choose
- has an acceptable keyboard for touch typing
The brilliance of the Psion was it’s instantaneous access to a computor calendar on the move with a half decent keyboard.
