I won't buy one if it's got a keyboard and looks like a laptop - absolutely pointless - I've already got an MBP and an MB.
If it's not a big Ipod Touch it's going to have no purpose. 10" gaming Touch then yes...
If it a scaled up iPT, it will only be able to run Apple-approved apps, you won't be able to run MS Office or iWork, you won't be able to print anything, you won't be able to do presentations, you won't be able to share files with real computers and the thing won't be powerful enough (or have the right OS) to run PS or anything a tablet would be useful for.
Apple will NOT. I repeat. NOT make a netbook. Period. They are too cheap.Too hard to use. And underpowered.
Apple WILL make a Macbook.
Haven't you seen the glaring omission of a Macbook line in the store ?
1+1=2
Nothing can be too cheap for the consumer.
Hard to use? As long as it has a nearly full-size keyboard, it is plenty easy.
Underpowered depends on what OS and software you've got. A netbook typically runs Windows XP, which has low requirements, so it is faster than you'd expect. You're not running PS on it. You're using a web browser and maybe doing some document editing. A netbook is plenty powerful for that.
At my Apple store, there a couple MacBooks out on display.
