Designing The Ultimate Netbook
Harden writes "TrustedReviews has an interesting take on what the 'Ultimate Netbook' ought to be. From the article: 'How to solve a problem like the netbook? To my mind, despite nearly every manufacturer taking a stab at the thing, none has yet quite distilled my idea of what the Ultimate Netbook would be. This is partly because, until recently, not everyone had a clear understanding of what a netbook was meant to do, but also because manufacturers have all been far too busy jostling for market share to put a lot of thought into the finer details.' What would your Ultimate Netbook include?"
Yes, His Steveness is not a pioneer in restrictions. iTunes is DRM free, AppStore does not exist, EULAs are very reasonable (for example you can use software you own on any hardware), iPhone can be legally used in any network, developers do not have to sign NDAs.
