I get it Dell.  I completely get it.  You want to keep you options open, you don’t want to get too tied down when there are so many options out there.
It’s hard to tell how an Android netbook would work.  Would it have multitouch? Would there be different apps for netbooks than there are for phones like the G1?  The possibilities are endless.
When the iPhone came out people weren’t sure if OS X on a phone would be sluggish, but after selling millions of phone any doubters have their answer.  …

Have you ever had someone set you up on a date that you really didn’t want to go on?  It usually isn’t any fun and leaves you wondering how you’ll ever be able to get that time back.  Wall Street is trying to do something similar between Dell and Acer.
Over the last few years Dell has been going downhill.  They used to be a Wall Street darling wowing investors with their ability to squeeze profits and ship their computers all over the world.  Once HP and Compaq figured things out …

It turns out that netbooks aren’t immune to the slowdown in economies all over the world.  Last year MSI, Acer, and Asus were very confident in their ability to ship more netbooks than they’ve ever been able to.  Unfortunately the reality doesn’t fit that expectation.
According to Digitimes:
Although Acer is estimated to have shipped two million Aspire One netbooks in the first quarter, the sources said that sales in the channel were lower. Meanwhile, Asustek’s Eee PC sales were only 900,000 units, lower than the expected one million units, while MSI …

Accountability is a big part of trust.  It’s easy to just type some words on a screen and hope people just believe it.  What’s even better is when someone sees an opportunity to correct someone else in the name of making everyone smarter.
Computerworld essentially tears Consumer Reports about their netbook reviews in their latest version of the magazine.  Consumer Reports left out a lot of information someone would need to know before they go out and buy a netbook.

There are so many netbooks out there it’s hard to tell which could be the right one.  Instead of trying to figure it all out I actually sat down to make my decision.  First I had to consider what things in a netbook I wanted:
-Long battery life
-Bluetooth
-Keyword with space
After looking at the options, I’ve settled on the Asus EEE 1000HE. 
Here are the specs to show that this gave me everything I was looking for:
XP-Preloaded with 160G large H.D.D.
Intel Atom 280 Processor (1.66 GHz, FSB: 667MHz)
