We've been talking a lot about ARM-based netbooks, and when they're going to come. We've also been talking about Android on netbooks. Well, at Computex, analyst firm Gartner took a look at ARM netbooks running Android, compared them with Atom notebooks running Windows 7, and concluded that the interface on the former felt snappier.

netbooks are of course about the prize too... (specially in 3rd world countries, or even non-rich families in the 1st world countries too. Sometimes as secondary/girlfriend/kid machine... you get it.) The question really is, does the public who REALLY want's it for the form factor really matter in the economics point of view?
The manufacturers think they don't right now... TechCrunch (or any other similar product) netbook/webtablet may change the manufacturer's point of view, like the original EeePC changed their minds about the demand of netbooks.

I think the Asians probably think netbooks are about price, but it really isn't. It's about form(factor) and function. I wouldn't mind paying more.
And touchscreen is possible one of those things I want.
