DigiTimes reports that Taiwan-based Quanta Computer will build a new netbook computer for Apple. A netbook (a portmanteau of Internet and notebook) is a class of laptop computer designed for wireless communication and access to the Internet. Netbooks “rely heavily on the Internet for remote access to web-based applications” (Wikipedia)
The plan is to ship the panels by second half of 2009. If these report holds true then the Apple’s long-run rumor of having large-screen (7 to 9 inch display) IPOD touch with virtual keyboard might be on the way.
This would probably crush the competition – the rumor is that Apple netbook would be able accommodate HD movies and can run standard desktop applications!
So is Apple is on the move of bringing out yet another hot product? IPOD, IPhone, and now Netbooks? Apple never runs out of creative ideas!

Yeah, me too.
I was wondering what Apple would bring out next? I needed to migrate from iPhone to something Applish…definitely, Palm is not the answer.
