So they finally decide to get in that business...?
Doing something between an iPhone and a MacBook. I just hope it's not going to be the same interface as the iPhone...

I think the biggest concern is the price. I dont think that Apple will put the iPhone interface into a netbook (if they even make one). If they can keep the price down it would be awesome. I don't think that Apple can/will do that however.

Why buy an overpriced Apple Netbook? Buy an OS and a Dell Mini-9. *ducks Apple Fanboys* I know, I know...I'm just saying.

Trust me, its crossed my mind! Their prices are getting a little ridiculous. Just a little

Wouldn't a 10" touchscreen signify a Tablet computer over a netbook? Tablet PCs aren't notoriously cheap (so Steve Jobs won't feel bad about having to sell crap at fair market value, which Apple apparently doens't know how to do according to him).

Yep this is an option, I made one of these from a dell d620 for under $500 and its runs great. Although being able to have a complete fully supported (by apple) system would be better since you don't have to worry about keeping back ups in case an update blows up your computer.

more likely not a netbook especially pricing.

If a $700 laptop is a netbook, then Apple's got one.

 

[JMcEntegart]

The way I figure, netbooks have sort of wrecked the chances of anything smaller than 12 inches being considered anything but a netbook. Even if the machine is running on something more powerful than an Atom, people will still see a price tag higher than that of your average netbook on what looks like an average netbook and freak right out. Look at Sony's Lifestyle PC. The company insists it's not a netbook and people keep calling it one anyway.
