Is Psystar planning a netbook?
A year after entering a headline-grabbing legal battle with Apple's legal department over its Mac-compatible Open Computer, Psystar is still selling its Macintosh clones pre-loaded with Mac OS X.
Psystar alluded to releasing an "aggressively-priced" notebook computer in October 2008 but hasn't yet released a Mac OS X notebook. Some suggest that a Psystar netbook may simply be an extension to its notebook initiative, but nothing official has been announced.
Psystar hasn't been sitting still though, it has released desktop Mac clones with Blu-Ray drives and even a rack-mounted Mac clone (starting at $1,155) to compete with Apple's xServe.
Personally, I love the idea of a clone netbook, because I use one now (a hackintoshed Dell Mini 9). More hardware choices are always better for the consumer and if Apple won't release a netbook people will find a way to make their own.
With Apple-branded netbooks and tablets being rumored recently, Psystar would most likely wait to see what Apple has up its sleeves for WWDC in June before making any announcements.
