I think what psion did is just plain stupid! Am I not allowed to speak the word 'netbook' again, unless related to a Psion device? They should take pride of having the only 'netbook',and have all the other 'netbooks' named after it! It seems like this 'land of the free' with all it's court cases is actually going a bit too far; becoming the land of the 'bound' instead. I'm no longer able to do anything or someone will bring me to court.

Your dealing with there target niche market. Just make better uses of web applications specific to the netbook lifestyle. It one of constant knol points & a unified understanding of the web's abilities. :) singularity is the goal. hmm, it feels more like a marketing scheme… Your dealing with there target niche market.

Then because they own the trademark, issue guidelines on how it should be used. Maybe not. Maybe they do the right thing and push it into open source. Or maybe a consortium of OEMS and manufacturers buck up and make the investment.... Worst case, need to use a different term. Some have used the term "mini-notebooks", maybe "minis", maybe "internetbook", maybe "ibook". I would guess that Intel (as you say above) would come in and write a big huge check for it.
