There already is a netbook that runs OSX, the Dell Mini 9 and 10. They both run OSX perfectly. I think the only limitations are the 1gb of ram and limited I/O ports.
It's like a MBA, except slimmed down by half an inch on each side. It doesn't make sense for Apple to release a new line of notebooks smaller than the MBA, because the MBA is what it's pushing as the thinnest laptop. Unless of course this is the updated MBA, but then why call it Macbook Mini?
@raleel: Wait wait wait. Does that mean it's 4mm thick? Cause that's like 1/8" or so. My guess would be the 19.4mm would be the thickness, but even then it's like .75 inch.
And I assume it will also be powered by pixie dust. Maybe it will have a resolution of 38000x25400. And how about a processor capable of 20000 GFLOPS and a SSD with 15 petabytes of storage.
@Jrsy Devil's Advocate: Apple are never going to make a computer that looks like it costs $500. They probably won't ever release a computer for $500. But netbooks don't have to cost $500 - just look at the Sony Vaio P-Series. That's basically a netbook and costs at least $900. If Apple can do it for $800 it becomes their cheapest laptop and it's cheaper than the Sony. I'd buy it.
Doesn't anyone want to comment on just how good the camera on an iPhone 3G is. I think the picture quality is remarkable. It captures the fine balance this douche walks between fanboy and poseur.
