New Re: Its not about couch surfing...
Apple know a lot of stuff about a lot of stuff, but the thing they know most about is making an absolute boatload of money.

If there was money in the OS X netbook market, they'd be there.

Seriously. How many people want a tiny computer that isn't also a phone? The folks who want what you want are buying Nokia N900s - for about $600-$700.

New A phone is a phone.
A smart phone is still a phone.

I want a full keyboard, not a thumb board.

Stop telling me what I want.

Next you'll be telling me I want a phone with VMS on it.

If Apple made the footprint I have with the Dell Mini9, nut slightly slimmer in height, I'd probably buy two right off.

I don't want a phone that is also a "computer". I want a computer that is small, full featured and perhaps has a cellular modem in it, otherwise I have a usb dongle for it. The Dell Mini9 makes the grade there.

New I have.
Multiple times.

I've purchased a plethora of Apple products, iMac, MBP, 3 iPods (3 different generations), 2 iPod nano, 1 iPod shuffle, Apple Software for my MACs.

Plus I've got a Hackintosh.

I've sent feedback at every opportunity.

         There is no "support" for Atom in OS X - (pwhysall) - (13) - Dec. 23, 2009, 02:45:07 AM EST
             Well, if it's laissez-faire as you suggest - (Ashton) - Dec. 23, 2009, 06:02:15 AM EST

                 I don't think there's a market for an OS X netbook. - (pwhysall) - (10) - Dec. 24, 2009, 04:14:53 AM EST
                     And netbooks have destroyed the ultra-low-end laptop market - (drook) - (4) - Dec. 24, 2009, 10:16:39 AM EST
                         Maybe the suit against Intel will fix that. - (Another Scott) - (3) - Dec. 24, 2009, 11:44:50 AM EST
                             I haven't been following that - (drook) - (2) - Dec. 24, 2009, 12:36:47 PM EST
                                 The lawsuit will probably be on the trailing edge... - (Another Scott) - (1) - Dec. 24, 2009, 04:20:40 PM EST
                                     They could, of course... - (pwhysall) - Dec. 24, 2009, 04:28:40 PM EST
