Unproven? How is a market "unproven" for a known, existing device that has sales?
Sure, the market for underwater helicopters is unproven, but certainly not for netbooks.
"...manufacturers shipped just 450,000 units globally in 2007, but 10 million units in 2008, according to the Consumer Electronics Assn. This year, netbook sales are expected to grow 80% to 18 million units."
hmmm, half a million to 18 million in two years...and during a global recession?
"According to Gartner and DisplaySearch, 5.6mn netbooks were sold in Q3 2008. To put things in perspective, 4.7mn iPhones were sold during that same period. 14mn netbooks were sold in all of 2008 and already netbooks account for 10% of the total PC market in Europe."
Just exactly what constitutes a proven and/or exploding market in your view?
