Amber, no I have not tried nor seen that one. I was only joking really
since at this point I'd rather wait and see where the market goes and
what might be coming along. It's only a matter of time.

scott, have you used the Miestro from Humanware? They adapted the
tuch screan to have an overlay that presses the buttens of the
screan. As much as I hate humanware, I do like the idea. Actually it
was made by visuaid before they became Humanware.
I too would like a computer I can todd in my pocket.
My phone comes close.

Subject: Re: a netbook macbook?
Personally I want a computer I can fold up like a piece of paper and
shove in my backpocket. Actually I want one I can take anywhere and
even hold over my head in a sudden rainstorm. :) In the end I don't
care what the interface is, just as long as I can be as productive as
I always have. Let me toss this out there. I often tried using a
braille input on the Braille Plus and even then my speed is not nearly
as fast as a regular keyboard. So, I wonder if anyone has really
studied the efficiency of a touch screen, keyboard you'd use mainly
your thumbs to operate, and a standard keyboard. That would be
interesting info to know.

Actually, I'd hope they would, and make it accessible. I'm
sorry, but I'm not a part of this seeming 'blind' trend of hating
touch screens and thinking / wishing they'll go away! lol! I
want to see more, not less innovation, in both form factor and
graceful / chic access solutions to use such.
Have a great day!…
Smiles,

Let's just hope Apple doesn't make an Iphone/Ipod touch like
interface, that is touch screen and no keyboard.

That's true, for the time being. I think Apple may have to
change their minds soon, if you look at netbook sales figures
they are selling like crazy. If that keeps up for a few more
months Apple might just reconsider--out of necessity, if
nothing else. If this market stays strong, as it certainly
seems it's going to, you can bet Apple will jump in and grab a
piece of it.

Apple has made no decision to enter this market. Steve Jobs
has said that if they do, it will be worth Apple's time and
effort and will be a benefit to the consumer. Which means they
might be neat, but the number that have sold does not justify
the investment of resources.

hi wouldn't it be great if we could get a macbook the size
of a netbook?
I am considering getting a netbook whilst I love the macbook
I hear netbooks are even more portable, then the average
macbook nowadays in terms of convenience etcetera

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that
cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be
impossible to get at or repair.
