More AJL predictions:

Current netbooks will continue to morph into cheap tiny powerful full
service laptops. (The horsepower race.)

But the *real* 'net' books are coming soon. They will be much cheaper
than current netbooks. They will be instant on, wireless, and have a
simple non-MS OS. They will have basic applications but rely more on
cloud computing. They will have no separate drives but rather use a
working and flash RAM. And perhaps one proprietary port with dongle
adaptors for current peripherals.

Something like my Palm TX on steroids.... ;)
