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.

Maybe not. Who cares?

Words do not have absolute, universal meanings, which can be a little disconcerting to the ultra-rational. iPhones are so similar to netbooks, it makes sense to call them netbooks sometimes. And even if it doesn't make sense, it hardly deserves its own article on OSNews.

Ultra-rational my ass!
Apple would call dog doo on a stick a netbook if that helped them make more money.
