[MUD-Dev2] [NEWS] Netbook sales expected to double to 35 million

[Mike Rozak]

>From reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSLG17256720090217?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0 "Global shipments of personal computer processors fell more than 11 percent in the fourth quarter but netbook sales are expected to more than double this year to about 35 million units, according to analysts."

I posted about netbooks mid last year when only a few million had sold. I have recently read that 14-17 million netbooks were sold last year. The reuters article is now talking about predictions of 35 million for 2009.

The trend is getting more difficult to ignore. Low-end processors with tiny screens and keyboards have serious design ramifications for virtual worlds.
