Hi
I think you would care that with the iPhone and iPod Touch you can't
copy and paste, regardless of which apps are running. I don't think
that Apple is claiming that either of these devices is a sort of
"Netbook" although it has expanded functionality over most mobile
phones in a number of ways.
Cheers,
Esther

Not sure I would include "standard" software or PC operating systems
as a qualification for being a netbook. What do I care if the OS is
Windows, Unix or MinOS as long as it runs the apps I want. Likewise,
why should I care if it is running Microsoft Word (tm) as long as I
can do wordprocessing? I think tying the definition of netbooks to
branded technologies would lock out other strong contenders for no
other reason than marketing.

That's Apple's stance, but no. A netbook is a small laptop designed
for web browsing and other office tasks. It can run standard pc
software and operating systems. The iPhone doesn't qualify, though
it has web browsing and email it does not have wordprocessing, nor
can it run standard software.
