    Netbooks have been the most refreshing trend in the last few years and bucked the trend of bigger, badder and slower. The fact that they are essentially 10 year old miniaturised laptops running on 10 year old Windows XP proves a point; that manufacturers have long overlooked the fact that they should design products with their customers in mind, not their shareholders. How long wil Sony and Apple stay out of the game?
