I really wish people would stop saying that the iPhone/iPod Touch, or the macbook Air are netbooks or can take the place of a netbook. That is simply not true to those of us who want something along the lines of a netbook. None of those 3 items qualify. I carry several very heavy books with me to classes every day and the 12 inch powerbook I take along as well would be perfect if it weighed less than 4.8LBS. The footprint of it is just right for my needs as well as the needs of many others. The MBA (which I like very much), is too big to fit in the pocket in my bag, and too expensive. I have the same issue with the mac book as far as size goes, and it only weighs 4 ounces less than my Powerbook. That is not enough less weight for me to consider getting it. I want something in roughly the same footprint as my powerbook, but 1.5-2LBs lighter. While the iPhone is a great piece of engineering, it can’t replace my laptop for taking notes in school, partly because there is no support for Hebrew Language, and partly because I can’t connect my bluetooth keyboard to it.

Worst.Fake.Ever.

I don’t think Apple will be as bland as that . . . I think it will more like the fusion of the Macbook and the technology found in “www.hellosmartbook.com” which will blow away the field altogether. New category = Smartbook

i Thnk yes…but its too old now to discuss about i guess….
