(ip-192.com): Netbooks continue to fly off the shelves, with nearly 33 million units of the ultramobile PCs predicted to sell in 2009, according to a new report from DisplaySearch.
"Mini-notes are forecast to continue to be a significant portion of the market," according to John F. Jacobs, director of notebook market research and author of the DisplaySearch report. "However, as display sizes of these devices have quickly moved from 7.0 to 8.9 to 10.1 inches, and now with the emergence of 11.6- and 12.0-inch mini-note products, it is clear that buyers want a lightweight device, but that they also want a bigger display. While these devices have certainly created a new market, our research indicates that they are predominantly used as secondary PCs by consumers, and are not replacing notebooks."
