The other point about netbooks is that even the new ones don't actually offer you a lot more than older ones for most uses of them, so people don't feel the need to rush out and upgrade to the new models, it's why we have seen them increasing the screen size on netbooks and most of them seem to be planning to bring out slates as well since changes to form factor are an easier way to get repeat purchases.
