I’m waiting for the Apple Netbook. I realize it will be about as high as giraffe’s pussy but I’ll just pilfer a few more bucks from the plate.

I’m wondering why everyone assumes it must be a Netbook? How about a Kindle killer? Or iTouch type gaming device? Video player? etc?

I read the suggestion elsewhere that it might be something like a vidio player set up to run like an itouch. This does compute to me as a sort of mobile media center.

Not sure how good it would be as a computer but the keyboard should be easier to use than a regular itouch.

That $219 is a good price point. I’ll take one.
