it's really very self-contradictory; why apple makes a product like "Mac Mini", low cost Desktop PC; and couldn’t make a portable low cost book with long battery capabilities, solid state drive, smaller screen and 3G, WiMAX networking capable, I think no matter the price for it, I think it matter the price for service, I think it’s a point that apple have forgotten “service” when it makes product like iPhone, and they get reward for innovation, but they can’t make a product like a netbook, because they don’t have the award… I think they should think it better, perhaps they don’t have the high perform as a MacBook but they have something more than that…

I think Apple is already in the netbook market with the 13" Macbook. Maybe it's more of a hybrid, to be more acurate. I've looked at an Acer 8" unit for simple web and email access in the field, but I much prefer my Macbook. I can actually get some work done on the road from any WIFI hotspot and I don't have to lug around a 17" or 19" brick.

The Air is their netbook. I think you 'should' release a tablet though.

Apple already has a Netbook. It is called the iPod touch and it fits in your pocket. I hope their summer release will be a 10" version of the iPod - with the 3.0 software, it will be ready for primetime.

First iphones and ipod touches are apple computers and their version of os x will probably continue to spread up through the other apple computer lines. It has been talked about some in places but, it seems that apple wants to force people to have an internet connection like the iphone so it will come with a internet connection you pay for say monthly or yearly like a cell phone or moblie me account. This way it can be sold for under cost like the iphone for $200, $300, or $400 dollars or maybe even free. I think apple is into pushing cloud computing which is sort of like the old time share computers back in the 70's. The terminals then and what the iphone and a apple "netbook" might become are just portals into the much larger more powerful internet as long as you can always be connected. That is probably still a few more years down the line to fully work but, that doesn't seem to stop apple from aiming in that direction.
