...Personally I just don't see the appeal of netbooks. If it's going to be a small computer with most of the features one expects, then it might as well have a keyboard and screen of a reasonably usable size, like the ThinkPad X series (or the old TP 240). Once you start compromising on the screen and keyboard size, then it might as well be as small as a PDA phone. Why bother with anything in between?...
Actually, that "in between" is exactly what I'm waiting for: a tablet with no separate keyboard, about the size of a half-sheet of paper (5.5 x 8.5 inches), which would fit in the side pocket of my cargo shorts. There was a big to-do last year that many like that were about to hit the market, and silence ever since. They were called MID's for Mobile Internet Device. Apple will probably bring one out next year and everyone will gush over their innovation.
