iPad Cutting Into Netbook Sales
There is no doubt that 2010 was the year of the iPad. With 15 million of them sold last year, it was clear that Apple had a hit on their hands. The target buyer was often one that was deciding between a netbook and a tablet; or that was at least what we were told. [...]

The iPas was definitely a phenomenon in 2010, and set the stage for tablets galore. Folks have been heralding the death of the desktop, the notebook and the netbook, not necessarily in that order. However, I saw two sets of numbers that are going in the opposite direction. The first is that clearly Apple is gaining [...]

Christmas came a little early for some fifth graders in Vermont today. The fifth graders got a new netbook as part of a connected initiative up in Vermont. The netbooks are 10″ Dell models, and are designed to teach these youngsters the tools needed to function in cyberspace. It is part of the e-Vermont initiative that [...]

The AMD K125 that is currently available has been a bit of an enigma. It has a little more performance than an Intel Atom, but at a cost of a little more power. It is also a single core part, which came out in a multicore processor time. It is also available in limited products, [...]

Netbooks are increasingly generic. They all have their parts within a restricted spec list, and even from different manufacturers, it turns into a sea of sameness. If netbooks are the econoboxes of the computer world, I can’t blame the companies for trying to differentiate their products. Dell is taking the initiative and going with an Inspiron [...]

Amidst the roadmaps, Dell is hinting that they will be releasing a new netbook. It is codenamed Athens, and is in their XL category, which is larger than the smartphones they have in the pipeline. It is rumored to have an 11″ display, and an ARM processor. The operating system will be Android, and they [...]

1. April 2010 | by Jonas
With netbook profits pared to the bone, there is a rumor circulating that two major manufacturers may be looking to get out of the market. With most folks looking for a $300 netbook, there cannot be much profit in those things currently. Well, not enough for the likes of Dell and HP because they are [...]

I’ve watched as monthly mobile broadband prices remain stuck in the $60 range, and have not budged for what seems like forever. With the iPad coming out, it does make one wonder how much longer are they going to be able to justify that price? After all, folks are already paying for their smartphone data [...]
