Apple Netbook Will Fill Newspaper Void

@Ted,

Think about all the trees, fuel and energy it takes to write all those newspaper. Then think all the trees plus energy we'll save by not publishing them. 50 million more trees per year means a hey of a lot of CO2 being absorbed.

Apple Netbook Will Fill Newspaper Void

The death of the printed newspaper is great thing for the environment- think of the number of trees it would save. The countless pounds of less trash that needs to be hauled around or finds itself in on the streets. If you want to read a newspaper, subscribing to a web edition or buying a Kindle is the way to go. Or if you're a Mac user, find the sight that reports want you want and use Apple's simple and elegant widget maker- talk about getting to the point.

As for Apple getting into the net-book market, I don't think so. The margins will simply not be there. Why make 3 or 5% on a product when you could make 30% or more on others??? Leave that to the Acers of the world.

What would be great, and maybe this would come with iPhone 3.0, would be if you could make a widget on your Mac, as described above, and then incorporate it as your own app onto your iphone. With this approach, apps can go from 25,000 today to millions in a month!!!!
