    Yes it is PhotoShoped, i dont think people would think its real.

    I think a BB netbook would be awesome. If your BB is just like a small computer, well lets get a netbook. Blackberry security, predictive typing, wifi, 3G. everything your phone would have just bigger.

    Tell me that it wouldnt be a good idea for RIM to come out with a notebook?

    People would flock to it like crazy.

    Why would that have any benefit over any other netbook or laptop. I can already get my real email on those.

    For one, I want nothing resembling Blackbery OS on a netbook. Jesus, that would be slow. My Mini 9 boots in 25 seconds. It would take bberry os 45 minutes to boot! Predictive typing? On a netbook? You're kidding, right. I type 90-100 wpm already. predictive would just slow it down a ton. Wifi, 3g, already available on a netbook. Linux or xp run great on netbooks. JAva based?!!??!?! lol.

    I honestly doubt there would be much market. Blackberry Markets their retail prices on their phones from 5-800 dollars. How much would they expect to charge for a netbook????

    Simply put, there is no logical reason for this to happen. that, and the fact that BlackBerry can't put a device out that doesn't require 3 returns and 27 software updates to make it run as expected, would make it so undesirable it isn't even funny.

    Well, a netbook is several times more powerful than your average blackberry (or even the fastest blackberry), so that would help boot times.

    Either way, I don't really see the purpose of a RIM netbook. Perhaps RIM could produce a netbook with a custom OS (probably not the BB OS), that made use of their vertical stack. I am referring to BBM, BES, push email via wireless carriers. But you could achieve the same feature set with a windows xp or linux based netbook, a VPN, and a mobile broadband card. RIM would struggle to produce a clear competitive advantage in the netbook space. RIM would also be competing with laptops. Of course there could be something I am not considering here, but baring that, I just don't see the point of a RIM netbook.

    A more likely future is more and more advanced blackberry devices coming from RIM.

    Only BB fanboys/girls would jump on something like this. Just because they can make one, doesnt mean they should.

    Would you buy a TV made by Cuisin Art?
    Would you buy a pair of Hyundai jeans?
    Would you buy a pack of Microsoft Sausages?

    No one's gonna make a better netbook OS than Windows 7 IMO, it's faster than XP, prettier, more powerful and more secure.
