iPhone News: 200,000 app downloads, iPhone is a netbook, AT&T profits hit by iPhone subsidy, House of Reps wants iPhones, 7m iPhones sold in 3Q
iPhonic — Latest iPhone News: Thursday 23 October 2008 200,000 application downloads Over 200,000 applications have been downloaded from the iTunes App Store, just a month after it hit the 100,000 mark. iPhone is a netbook With all sorts of rumours and speculation over Apple releasing a small computer (netbook), Steve Jobs has responded, claiming that the iPod and the iPod Touch devices offer the same functionality as low-cost netbooks. "We choose to be in certain segments of the market, and we choose not to be in certain segments of the market," Jobs told Wall Street analysts on Tuesday. Taking a veiled swipe at current netbooks, he continued, "We ...

Apple netbook rumors won't go away
Yahoo! Tech Advisors — ... about the possibility of an Apple netbook, calling it "a nascent market that's just getting started"—not a flat denial (as I noted at the time), but not exactly a ringing endorsement. When the questions came up again during Apple's quarterly conference call Tuesday, Jobs still stuck with his "nascent market" line, adding (as Computerworld reports ) that there are "not a lot of them getting sold" and "we don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk, and our DNA will not let us ship that." He went on to say that the iPhone, with its e-mail and browsing ...

Analyst feels Apple will unveil its new netbook next month
TG Daily - All News — Hampton (NH) - On Tuesday, Analyst Ezra Gottheil of Technology Business Research, Inc. stated that Apple will introduce two netbooks at the MacWorld Conference and Expo in January. He claims the two books will be linked to the Apple App Store - just as the iPhone is. Gottheil claims he has no insider information, no sources, but rather has come to this conclusion through sheer speculation. One of the major reasons he believes this theory is that in our downward spiraling economy, individuals have begun purchasing laptops and computers that are the least expensive. This coupled with comments ...

BlackBerry Storm, iPhone Actually Netbooks, Really, Really Small Netbooks
Digital Daily — Contrary to popular opinion, Research In Motion’s (RIMM) Blackberry Storm is not a smartphone. It’s a Netbook. So says Mike Lazaridis, the company’s founder and co-CEO, who apparently hasn’t seen an Eee PC lately. Asked by CNet Asia if he viewed Netbooks as a competitor to RIM’s BlackBerry devices, Lazaridis, referring to the Storm, said, “These are Netbooks. They are just smaller.” Now, leaving aside for a moment the fact that the Storm is clearly not a laptop replacement, Lazaridis’s comment is interesting because it mirrors Apple (AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs’s remarks about the iPhone this past October. ...

Reports: Apple netbook to launch later this year
Macworld — by Gregg Keizer , Computerworld Editor's Note: This story is excerpted from Computerworld . For more Mac coverage, visit Computerworld's Macintosh Knowledge Center . Rumors of an Apple netbook gained momentum Tuesday as the Dow Jones financial news service confirmed earlier reports that the company will launch a touch-screen-based computer, perhaps as early as the second half of this year. Sources told Dow Jones Newswires that Apple is working with Wintek, a manufacturer of small- and medium-sized displays, to make touch-screen displays in the 9.7- to 10-in. range, with Quanta Computer to assemble the netbooks. Both Wintek and Quanta ...
