Think about what a netbook really becomes. A shared email and browser that does IM, and frustrates everywhere else. Battery life? Low. Keyboard? Mushy. Multimedia performance? Slow. Disappointment? High.
My iPod touch functions pretty much like a very, very small netbook PC. I check email. I type out a few quick responses. I browse. I google ( no caps needed, it’s a verb now). I can also IM, play movies, play music, play games and do what no netbook PC can ever do.
Fit in my pocket.
After hacking OS X on two different netbooks (the HP Mini 1000 or Dell Mini 9), I agree. Not only am I totally over netbooks and their compromised hardware, but in the process, I discovered I already used my iPhone for anything the netbook could do — rendering the existence of a netbook in my life pretty much pointless.
