Anyone expecting to see an Apple netbook at the WWDC in June is going to be disappointed. This news was dropped by Tim Cook, the Apple COO.
According to him, people who want to surf the web can use an iPod or iPhone, which are portable enough. He also said that today’s netbooks are compromising products.
Cook however appreciated the netbooks’ concept. He said that the company is looking for an innovative way to introduce something that can really make a contribution.
His comments have triggered a speculation that Apple might be working on a similar touch screen device. However, his comments on the present netbooks are being seen by some people as not fair enough.
Their argument is that the latest netbook models are not a compromise at all. They are much better than the past models. Their big screens are good enough to surf the web as well as watch the videos online. Also the software being used in today’s netbooks is good enough, so Cook’s complain does not appear to be fair.
There is no doubt that whatever Apple plans to bring is going to be innovative enough. But it is equally true that the present netbooks have proved to be good value for money.
