Why Apple Needs To Make A Mac Netbook
Thanks to my incessant evangelizing, my next door neighbor has two Macs. An iMac and a MacBook.
I’m something of the neighborhood Mac system administrator. Imagine my surprise when one of my, uh, neighbor students purchased a PC.
She didn’t lug home just any old junk PC, like from Dell or HP or whomever else makes those things. She bought an ASUS netbook PC for $330.
Why? What did I do wrong? Why are my subjects forsaking me? Will this wicked disease inflict other.... (excerpted).

Honestly, I think the iPhone and phones in general will make netbooks obsolete in a few years anyway. Not everyone needs a netbook but everyone definitely needs a phone. So, I’d rather Apple put all of their resources into improving the iPhone. A smaller efficient MacBook Air would be great but I wonder if it would follow in the footsteps of the Mac mini and I doubt that Apple would put out a product where the profit margin is so low unless it sold like hotcakes like the iPod.
