Designing The Ultimate Netbook

Posted by Soulskill on from the unique-blend-of-herbs-and-spices dept.

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?"

    I hope they enter this field and I hope it's priced competitively. I think Apple does things right, whether it's an established product/model or not, the majority of the time.

      developers do not have to sign NDAs.

      If that's the case, can you explain why when Apple rejects an app from their app store, even their rejection letter is protected by an NDA?

      So if you've told people your developing an app, you then can't tell them why it has been rejected or even that it has been rejected. Access to the SDK requires you to agree to an NDA.
