During the conference call yesterday about Apple's financial results, COO Tim Cook reiterated Apple's negative stance towards the netbook market. While many of us might want to see a relatively cheap Apple netbook with Mac OS X, all the recent figures do seem to confirm that it simply isn't a good idea for Apple.

Only in part. If you're looking for a very portable machine, you seem to have two choices - go cheap (the Acer/Asus/etc model), or go expensive (the Sony or Apple appraoch). Unlike your car analogy, there's not really a middle ground - even in good times, buyers have to pick between two extremes. And a lot of them *will* continue to choose the low end, because there's little reason to pay so much more.
