Apple has not been able to kill any competitors. Lets see if Apple kills Flash. One interesting thing is Apple is doing very very well and yet its market cap is less than MSFT. Even at the height of its powers, Apple can only manage to catch up with Microsoft.

I bought a Lenovo S-10 when it first came out because it was cheap. I have used it as my primary and only computer for over a year. At home, I plug in a secondary monitor and an external 1.5 terrabyte hard drive, and a set of Bose speakers, and it does everything I would want a larger computer to do. I also like its cuteness/Kawaii factor. My gf has a much larger Dell. Her better speakers and larger screen are solved by my plugged in devices, plus I have portability. Since I do not play games or do video or graphic design, it has everything I would need. I have written long papers on it, and the Lenovo keyboard is great. Really, this is all about marketing. If someone is satisfied with a 1.6 GHZ computer for $300, why do they need to buy a 3 GHZ computer for $2000? Just like Honda and Hyundai that started out making cheap cars but now wantto make more expensive cars to get a great profit margin, computer companies want the same thing. My next computer will probably be an S10-3t netbook convertible lap top.

Surprising that Samsung didn’t feature.

Enjoying the netbook (one type of device) vs iPad (completely different type of device) debate going on in the comments. I expect Apple to sell a decent number of iPads, I also expect netbooks to continue to sell well. I don’t see the iPad as a threat to netbooks particularly, it is an interesting device but has some issues and wouldn’t be something that I would consider buying.

Netbooks will continue to be a low cost, small laptop that can accomplish a decent amount for the money and yet be highly portable. What you can accomplish with a netbook varies from model to model and this will improve with Ion 2 coming along, Nvidia Optimus technology and the like. The line between netbooks and ultraportables will continue to be blurred, as it will with tablets or netvertibles or whatever you want to call them.

Why would you want flash? why should we be encouraging the use of third party software, when there are alternatives. besides, untill adobe pull their finger out, flash is clunky, resource intensive, and totally the wrong thing to be using on the web. there is nothing flash can do that css and html 5 cant. :)

I can honestly tell you, there are plenty of testimonials from writers, yes professional writers, who travel and use their netbook to type on. An example is the 1005HA from Asus. If you can’t type well on that, then perhaps you have stubby, long, huge fingers. Either that or you bought and Acer (cheap) and expected a good keyboard. Research a bit more, then make a wise choice. Netbooks being hard to type on is a fallacy.
