Perhaps this is the most economically efficient step to attaining a similar device with a bigger screen.

Why would they jump to a netbook and then let other companies fill the gap that they're already in? That would be stupid.

They have a nice range of sizes and they don't have hardware keyboards

Pandora: big promises, possible zero returns
Apple: no promises, instant returns
But Apple's approach treats their customers like impulse buying children in order create inflated margins. I would rather someone give me a nice, smooth long term plan that leaves little doubt. Then I could do long term planning. Sounds fair to me.

For me, no physical keyboard = no sale. (And the 3 row keyboard might also mean no sale... I will probably have to play with one in the store to figure that out)

As I feared: the 3G modem made them phonify it. Small screen + dumbed down keyboard renders the device identical to exisiting competitors like the iPhone, G1 (+ its undoubtedly nice successor) and Pre.
Makes little sense when the predecessor fills a more unique niche as the one practical, affordable MID. (Remember that campaign of Intel's that seemed to go nowhere?)
Still some hope, though; this could easily be entirely fake.
