Today, Digitimes quoted Gartner as saying that “mini-notebook” sales could hit 50 million units by 2012. I tend to take most of what I see from Gartner with a grain of salt, but it appears that I’m not the only person who wants one of these new devices! I have also read reports from several people speculating that the economic slowdown in the United States could boost sales of netbooks significantly. Perhaps Gartner figured that into the 5.2 million devices they say will be sold this year. As a secondary or tertiary computer in the home, they’re a great solution.
