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.

My first thought was that you can't consider iPhones/iPods as netbooks because they're not general PCs, something which netbooks are a subcategory of. You can't perform general tasks on an iPhone/iPod, such as move files wherever you like, install whatever software you like, and run a compiler to build new software.
That alone rules out the netbook category. The form factor is another matter altogether.
