Well "NetBooks" and "UltraBooks" will more or less merge with tablet+kbd replacing the lower end.

The reall issue with the LimeBook (aka OS4book) is that it allready was a bottomdweller when it was introduced years ago.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@Darrin

I somehow doubt you would be lukier if you only had a 10" (or smaller) netbook ?

Smartbook (like the MacBookAir) on the other side provide just enough power&useabilty to serve as ones only computer.

 All Amiga software can easily address a 4GB memory address space which is about 3GB of useable RAM, (the rest is reserved for registers, expansion cards, etc).  But nobody will build us any hardware to actually use that much ram.


Make that 2GB addressspace and 1.5GB useable RAM as there are far to much function in the OS that return pointer as (signed) LONG with negative value pointing out some kind of error code.
