I see that you continue to be confused about what a netbook is.

No. Manufacturers have redefined their too-big notebooks as "netbooks" to confuse consumers as to what real netbooks are. A real netbook is 5"-8", not a 10"-12" notebook. Those small non-netbook notebooks are not much more portable than any other notebook, just harder to type on. Redefined cheap "netbooks" are giving a bad name to an evolving segment of the small computer market.

What do you do with a netbook? It's too small for day to day computing. So what do you do? Email? Web surfing? Find restaurants? Directions? Tweet? Wall scribbles on Facebook?

The convergence of notebook computers and smartphones is an ongoing process. The results are still in flux.
