Will Apple get netbooks


Netbooks fill a gap the iPhone and iPod Touch don't cover. They have bigger screens better for Web viewing, 8.9 inches to 12 inches, and keyboards for easy typing.

In fact, the global market for mini-laptops is expected to grow 43.2% per year on average, reaching 70.1 million units by 2013, according to market researcher Gartner Inc.

So say what you want, Apple, but those numbers suggest a powerful product trend. And it's about to get even more interesting.

Forthcoming netbooks will be built using mobile phone chips and parts rather than traditional computing components, and that will make a big difference. They'll be among the most portable notebook-like devices ever.

On the software side, netbooks running Google's Android software will hit world markets over the next several months.


A mini-notebook with Apple's iPhone OS 3.0 software that linked to a spruced up MobileMe Web site with more online Apple software would probably be a hit.
