I'm quite certain they'd put it in the iPod family instead or call it iPad.

I have no real desire to win this debate...

What a minute! Yes I do now that Shiner is on the line!

I really just want the device.

In my opinion, if they truly want to enter the market _above_ the price for a standard netbook, they'll want to redefine the whole category, so they _won't_ call it a "Mac" or "MacBook" at all. Their main interest is to extend the iPhone category (in which the iPod touch's at home as well). Shiner or not. :P

Easy to say when you're not the one that's buying the Shiner...

I was thinking that an Apple-branded netbook would fall more in line with the iPods and iPhones than they would in the "Mac" line of computers... I still can't see where a Mac netbook would be used, though. When would I need something larger than my iPhone, but smaller than my already tiny MacBook? Where does this product fit into my lifestyle? What would it be used for? What niggling computer-need of mine does it fill?
