Brighthand (amongst others) have been reporting further rumours of an Apple Netbook later this year, even though Apple themselves have denied that they will play in this space.
So, will they? Who knows. If they do I'm sure they'll shake up that market too. If they do I hope they'll make the boot time virtually zero. If they can do that it might work for me, but I'm not convinced at the moment.
I think it is possible that it could be an overgrown iPod Touch rather than a touchscreen MacBook Mini. A few enhancements would be necessary, of course. I would love to be able to run both OSX and iPod apps on 10" touchscreen device.

ReplyDeleteHaving said that although these rumours seem stronger than previous ones, they are just rumours nonetheless.
I remember when the MacBook Air was finally announced, people had speculated that it was almost anything but what it turned out to be.
