Netbooks – Grown Up Smart Phone or Stripped Down PC?

March 13, 2009

Analysis of:Intel Readies Push Into Mobile Intenet Devices | www.businessweek.com

If it’s a grown up smart phone, it means higher average selling prices (ASPs) for the category and an expanded market opportunity. It it’s a stripped down PC it means lower ASPs and cannibalization of an existing market. If it’s truly a new category, Apple may be behind it. There’s clearly a gap between smart phones and notebooks and along with Intel, both and notebook and smartphone makers are eager to fill it. The question is who will fill it best from a use model, and, who can fill it in a way that will broaden their market rather than cannibalizing their existing businesses. Apple, the current leader in designing mobile lifestyle devices, should benefit from having hung back to observe the market dynamics and reactions to the netbook category before jumping in themselves.

Analysis of:What Is the Issue in the Psystar Case? | www.osnews.com

Can any manufacturer tell you how you can use a product after you purchase that product? Can Sony tell you that you can only play it's CDs on Sony equipment? Can a book publisher tell you, you can only read their book while standing? Can GM or Ford tell you, you can only use a certain brand of gas? This is the basic question behind this suit and whichever way it goes will establish a major direction of law for all products.
