No Netbook from Apple


There is always a lot of anticipation around Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference and this year was no exception.   There was talk of  a Mac Tablet and a lite version of the iPhone.   I expected Apple to introduce a netbook or a cheaper, smaller laptop.  However they would have being acutely aware of cannabalising their current line-up with a cheaper version.



The key announcement was the iPhone 3G S, which seems to be playing catch-up on functions missing from the 3G, especially an improved camera with video recording (finally), the ability to run more than one application at once and a cut-and-paste functionality. 




I still think lacking a physical keyboard is a drawback of the iPhone.  It will be interesting to see how the Palm Pre goes up against the iPhone 3G S.
