They haven't completely ignored the low-end internet appliance market as they have that sony dash thing, but you have to assume their reasoning for not having anything in the netbook market is similar to that of apple, they have a mostly premium brand and there isn't much scope to take advantage of that with a netbook where margins are tight. Tablets, whether they are windows or android based would seem like a smart move for sony since the margins are higher.
