@doug I don't think Apple will pursue this and for good reason. Look at what's
happening
now, the "netbook" market is already saturated. Take a look at one in a coffee
shop and
you'd never identify a netbook's brand (unless you're tech savvy).

Apple is staying with their plan, so to speak. I believe they've perfected
integration within
their applications and that is feature completeness in my book.

@ron it's good to know your needs. A MacBook is definitely out of the picture
but an
iPhone or even an iPod touch could probably satisfy most of your needs. However,
may I
suggest the Eee PC 1000 series or even the MSI Wind? It looks like it could
handle *all* of
what you're looking for.
