Apple 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.

ok, so this the excuse for Apple not weighing on the the netbook market. Well lets face it even if they did they'd want a premium for their netbook.

I found it rather funny ipod touch and a iphone classed as a netbook, I guess thats one way of saying we dont have a answer to this market.

Give me a macbook air like casing with a 9" screen, a blazing fast SSD drive, 6-7 hour battery life, and the same sort of touchscreen technology found in the iPhone and Apple can have my $900.
