Basically, like the netbook, they're a stepping stone.
I don't get why people dismiss netbooks as a thing of the past. I don't see less people using netbooks with each coming year. Sure, the demand is not growing, but that is in no small part because everyone who wanted one already bought it, and they have a long lifespan. Or are you just going to call them "10in laptops" (which is what netbooks have been for the past 3 years), and not "netbooks"? Netbook as an ultra-cheap machine that can run Skype and the browser passed away, but netbook as a low-power, long battery life, compact machine is kicking. No more they are going away than, say, laptops or desktops; it's just that the market for them isn't exploding anymore.
