Do the 9″ netbooks get grouped in with the 8″ devices? I guess they've technically got 8.9″ screens, but I've never thought of them as 8″ devices before.

The 11.6 and 12 inch models were just introduced several months now. Give it a few more months before it shoots up.

The 11.6″ devices are nice, but that's totally a notebook if you ask me. I wish they'd put more horsepower in the 8.9's to be honest. The extra vertical rez on the 11.6's is a big bonus though, 600 pixels is a bit too small.

SKU count is one thing, but I'd be really interested to see sales numbers. 10″ is a weird form factor, IMO, but 11-12″ is good enough for me to do real work, and I wonder if sales are reflecting that. I'd have picked up an 11-incher by now to replace my aging Blacbook, but I decided to hold out for USB 3.0.
