The netbook's days were short. Now that people can do on their smartphones what you can do on a netbook, there's no reason for a netbook. Chromebook is a day late and a dollar short, IMO. This really seems more like a hook-in for the next Android version.

This really seems more like a hook-in for the next Android version. There is a lot of truth to that. I recently went on a trip, and I brought my netbook to answer emails with. But first, I checked for emails on my Android phone. If I had gotten a complicated one that needed a long answer, I would have fired up the netbook. But the ones that needed my attention were short and simple, and I just dealt with them from the phone.

"flexibility" and "IT" dont go well together in many cases.

I wouldn't disagree, but what I think he means there is that it frees up a company's own IT Dept. because it's not managing their own servers -- basically, the concept Google's promoting here is selling IT as a service, trying to get people to work in the cloud ... meaning they are managing the servers (further implying that they have access to your data, which is another issue altogether).

Sounds like it would be better to have a Chrome Dome
