Apple's (AAPL) iPad is aiding awesome the laptop or computer industry's netbook fever. Apple Chief Executive Steve Work has produced no solution of his disdain for the well-known, cheap mini-notebooks. "Netbooks aren't better than anything. They're just cheap laptops," Careers said at the Jan. 27 launch from the iPad tablet laptop or computer in San Francisco.

PC makers are starting to worry that consumers agree. The income progress of netbooks,Microsoft Office 2007 Standard, priced from $200 to $500 and resembling shrunk-down laptops, slowed markedly in the first quarter,Office 2007 Activation, according to market researcher IDC.

Netbook shipments to retailers from January through March are expected to grow 33.6% compared with a year ago, to 4.8 million units,Buy Office 2010, IDC says. That's significantly slower development than in the first quarter of 2009, when netbook product sales leapt 872%, to 3.6 million units. "Everyone tried to make these mini-notebooks out to be a different category, or different type of device,Office 2007 Keygen," says IDC analyst Richard Shim. "In fact, people think of them as just another type of PC."

Falling revenue aren't the only problem dogging netbooks. There's evidence that demand for netbook components is declining. The Web site DigiTimes reported on Mar. 30 that makers with the liquid-crystal-display panels used in netbooks are cutting production because of declining orders. PC makers including Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Dell (DELL), and Acer declined to comment on whether inventories of unsold netbooks are on the rise.
Seeking the Next Big Thing
Susie Ramirez, a spokeswoman for Intel, which makes the Atom chip used in most netbooks, declined to say whether PC makers are ordering fewer in the chips. "Things change quarter to quarter, but in the end we're looking at hundreds of millions of netbooks that will be sold over time," she says.

Some PC makers are starting to look past the category and divine what will next capture consumers' attention in the transportable laptop or computer market. Michael Abary,Office 2010 Activation, senior vice-president of Sony's (SNE) Information Products Technology Div., which makes Vaio-branded desktops, laptops, and netbooks, says the mini-laptops are "losing [their] novelty. Everyone is trying to figure out what's next, now that we realize [sales are] not going to continue to grow at an astronomical rate."

Sales of netbooks, which became well-known among American consumers in 2008, exploded as recession-battered shoppers opted for the cheap but less able laptops. When many people got them home, they were disappointed by flimsy keyboards, unfamiliar operating systems, and a lack of programs that could be run on the machines.
