Then, it took flight in the summer and fall of 2008 as reasonably priced well built Windows based netbooks took the world by storm. Then, there was its fast fall from public mindshare and marketshare as the iPad seemed to overwhelm the sub-$1000 mobile computing space since its introduction in April of this year.
