Apple Touch-Screen Netbook?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the heard-this-before dept.

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."

    the plus side is that all netbooks have copy&paste

    It's 200 bucks! What's expensive?

    Of course there's the ATT plan but you pony up for a plan with every cell phone.

    If you don't want that then a dumb phone and your plan + netbook makes more sense I guess.

    I know some who carry iPod Touch as this kind of device. Cheap, no plan needed + wifi access = ching!

    Copy/paste ... yeah.
