</div>I think the OEMs realised that they kicked off the netbooks revolution a<br>
little too early, working with either small celerons or the new Atom. SSDs<br>
were nothing more than a stacked flash drive with a IDE interface. Intel are<br>
pushing in this market and their SSDs are AMAZING, but for the mean time the<br>
OEMs have moved back to HDDs and the newer Atoms.<br>
<br>
The days of the Eee style netbooks are over IMHO. They're now turning<br>
into just small laptops again. If anything I think the netbook revolution<br>
just proved to the OEMs that a market for small, ultra portable, but low<br>
powered laptops does exist.<br>
