Apple Touch-Screen Netbook?
je ne sais quoi writes "The Apple rumor mill is churning today. Reuters and the DOW Jones news wire are reporting that an anonymous source in Taiwan has leaked that Apple has ordered some 10-inch touch-screens from WinTek, the maker of the touch-screen for the iPhone. It looks like an Apple netbook could possibly be in the works for a delivery date in Q3 of this year, in time for back-to-school sales. CNET and Engadget have completely unsubstantiated mock-ups."
WHO is the large target audience for these small screened, underpowered computers?
*cough*porn*cough*
Posts not to be taken literally. Almost everything is sarcasm.
The Apple Product Cycle:
"An obscure component manufacturer somewhere in the Pacific Rim announces a major order for some bleeding-edge piece of technology that could conceivably become part of an expensive, digital-lifestyle-enhancing nerd toy."

Yet another example of how this is so true.
If you reply, do so only to what I explicitly wrote. If I didn't write it, don't assume or infer it.
Heh, from the subject line I might guess those smudgy bits aren't fingerprints.
-1 Ewww, gross.
So like an Ipod Mega or Kilo?
No keyboard... maybe it's a touchscreen version of this.
I would not bet the "Netbook" has a keyboard. More like small 10" tablet what has virtual keyboard.
But actually I am not believing this "inside news" at all.
We are at step 4 already?

I wish people like you would stop existing so Apple would finally go out of business.
Do you really want to hold a 10" monster in one arm and try to navigate with the other?
Your mom can do it quite well...
. . . pull it out of my pocket . . .
You must have exeptionally large pockets. ; )

Its an ipod touch for fat people! Multitouch on a small screen must suck for them.

Aw, come on! In those tiny little screens, everything looks like midget pr0n!
Is that really so terrible?
I guess it's a matter of taste.
Wait, they're making netbooks that you can taste now? That really is going to revolutionize the porn industry.
I checked on the Internet, and can confirm that this is true.
On a side note, can slashdot have a special place for articles with titles that end in a question mark?
And that's why they call it "GUI".
