]]> Comment on Is an iPhone Comparable to a Netbook? by AlMonty http://www.bestnetbook.org.uk/is-an-iphone-comparable-to-a-netbook/comment-page-1/#comment-89 AlMonty Tue, 21 Jul 2009 23:37:41 +0000 http://www.bestnetbook.org.uk/?p=99#comment-89 Netbook iPhone or Nokia ?? Netbook has it on the size front - screen and keyboard iPhone has it on the community side - the Apps for iPhone outway the apps for any other palm held device by 1000s to 1 Modern Nokias (N97 etc) have great features but they simply fail because they do not have the magnitude of the iPhone development community. So Nokia or iPhone - iPhone everytime iPhone or Netbook - it's like comparing a 2 seater sports car to a Caddilac - they're simply not in the same market So how about Mac Book or Netbook or Laptop - If you have the money a Macbook has it all - unless you have pc specific applications but even then you can run a PC sim on the Mac - but ££ and $$ can hurt. So how does a £400 lap top compare to a £400 Netbook ? Portability = Netbook but functionality = laptop It goes without saying that a Netbook/laptop/Macbook isn't a telephone (not counting Skype) Clearly it's so personal that there is no generic answer - research your needs - portability - cost - functionality, then balance these with style and leisure features (video and audio) - don't buy features you won't use and don't need Good luck and post your personal preferences here Netbook iPhone or Nokia ??

So Nokia or iPhone – iPhone everytime
iPhone or Netbook – it’s like comparing a 2 seater sports car to a Caddilac – they’re simply not in the same market

So how about Mac Book or Netbook or Laptop – If you have the money a Macbook has it all – unless you have pc specific applications but even then you can run a PC sim on the Mac – but ££ and $$ can hurt.

]]> Comment on New edition of NC 10 at Amazon for pre order by Mark Sedgwick http://www.bestnetbook.org.uk/new-edition-of-nc-10-at-amazon-for-pre-order/comment-page-1/#comment-83 Mark Sedgwick Thu, 12 Mar 2009 21:29:43 +0000 http://www.bestnetbook.org.uk/?p=95#comment-83 Would have loved to go for this, with the longer battery life and bigger trackpad....until I read the part about the glossy screen, that's a definate backward step, especially for a Netbook, something you use out and about, and maybe outdoors, a matte screen would be much better. The glossy screen is the one thing I hate about my laptop. When I got it, people were saying how it improves the image, which it does in room lighting conditions, but in bright light, it's a nightmare for reflections. The gloss screen rules this Special Edition out for me, which is really disappointing, and the small trackpad was the only thing holding me back from getting the standard NC10.

And there were a number of PDA/Mobile Phones on which you could listen to music/surf the web/play games/do almost everything you can with a PC before that. The iphone is just a new trend.
