“We don’t intend to advertise it heavily early on because we think we are going to have shortages for a while. We won’t be able to keep up with demand for the device in the early period of time.”

Maybe Sprint employees will get a day off to form lines. Besides its not Sprint stores are in the best locations.
Makes sense!

So why are Apple and Research in Motion thumbing their noses at it? Perhaps because they view the netbook as an interim product, a placeholder. Perhaps because they know that the handset is the next computer?
Apple certainly does. The iPhone already runs a spartan version of the company’s OS X operating system. How long will it be before the device is outfitted with a more powerful processor — perhaps one designed by PA Semi — capable of running OS X SL? How long before the iPhone is outfitted with the Mini DisplayPort that will connect it to a monitor? How long before we no longer need netbooks or notebooks because our handsets do it all?
Merely shrinking a laptop into a smaller size and serving it up as a “netbook” is idiotic. And everything is shrunk: the screen, keyboard and functionality. If there’s a new class of device called netbooks, let it truly be a new thought that goes into it designing it.
