No choice

The hardware to run PC and smartphone functionality just will inevitably get cheaper and cheaper. Makers of smart phone chips like Qualcomm and all the ARM mfgrs are also going to join the party and put further pressure on the Wintel heavy pc industry. Displays will continue to get cheaper and higher resolution. The web will continue to gradually supplant local PCs for both hardware and software functions.

This all means that netbooks are here to stay. It's either join or die.
