Apple is missing out on netbooks says MacWorld editor


MacWorld editor, Peter Cohen, wrote that Apple is "missing an opportunity" on netbooks and now after playing with an Eee PC he says that the Eee is a "good second car". We love the pic above - the Eee PC is dwarfed by the 17" MacBook Pro, it gives a great sense of scale for portability's sake.

The 1000HA he tested was found to give a "remarkably good user experience" that gets you around town "economically and conveniently". This Apple pundit thinks that now more than ever Apple is still missing out on a popular and important market segment by refraining from netbooks for whatever reason. 

Peter puts in best when he says " I’d love to see something in the form-factor of an Eee PC that’s descended from the DNA of the iPhone.". So would we Peter, c'mon Steve, give us what we want!
