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 net book with 160gb hd.. has tons of XP progams, docs, games, MP3s, some movies and MSoffice2003...
Can an ipod do that ? Why buy an Ipod or Iphone when
my netbook can do all this while an Iphone cant....
I can't speak for the iPhone, but my PDA can and that's a few years old now.
As I said in an earlier post - I think the difference is down to ergonomics (appolagies for the poor spelling) rather than software.
One device is designed to be opperated from the palm and the other from the lap / tabletop.
