Netbooks are still all the rage these days, but according to Intel, this is going to change soon. The company has stated that they first thought that netbooks, who are almost exclusively powered by Intel chips, would be for emerging markets, but as it turns out, they are especially popular in Europe and North America. Intel claims that while these devices are "fine for an hour", they are not something for day to day use. And AMD? They are ignoring the market altogether.

The Netbook market wont go away. It will become more diverse and the edge between netbooks and notebooks will become more blurred.
If Intel doesn't want to compete in the low price compact end of the market, then Arm and Loongson chips will predominate. The revenge of both Acorn and the Dragon.
