Netbooks May Soon Outsell Notebooks, says Qualcomm CEO
Move over, notebooks. Netbooks may soon become the personal computer of choice for millions of end users, according Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs. In a Bloomberg interview at the CTIA Wireless Show in Las Vegas, Jacobs predicted the netbook’s rise could happen “relatively quickly,” although he declined to give a specific timeline.

Re: Netbooks May Soon Outsell Notebooks, says Qualcomm CEO
bullshit.
If that happens, i'll be shocked. Having "TRIED" to use one..... they are the biggest mistake period. It's like the worst cross between a touch phone/iphone style size and useability and a laptop/notebook. It's like metric tools when working with imperal equipment. Every bloody thing just isn't quite right period. The weight isn't quite right for use with a single hand or with both hands (thumbs).... and it's to bloody small to use properly with one or 2 hands (fingers) It's to small for stability to do anything convient..... it's not powerful enough for quite a number of things that even the cheaper notebooks are barely able to do to start with, yet not much more functional then the small gadgets. They are a toy, best used by children of age 3-6, ANYONE i know, that has either tried one or played with one all state they look handy and neato... but the ones that have actually used on say that those ideas last for a meer 15 minutes IF that before your ready to take it back and spend the little bit extra for a REAL notebook OR a smaller iphone or similare device. Frankly i have no interest in a notebook either, it just doesn't have a purpose for me.
