While we're on the subject of netbooks today, I ran across a story by Ars Technica's Erica Sadun, who writes for Ars' Infinite Loop (Apple) section. She poses that Apple already sells a netbook: the iPod Touch and the iPhone. I've heard many people make this claim before (including Steve Jobs himself), but I find it very hard to see the iPod Touch and the iPhone as netbooks.

The post I replied to is complaining that an iPhone can't be called a Netbook because it won't run his XP programs.
I think you read too much into that. Though the OP was referring to XP it was really a much more general point: the software run by the OP's netbook is the same software run by a typical x86-based system.
