During today’s financial conference call acting CEO Tim Cook gave a similar answer to a question Apple has been asked before. Are you pursuing the netbook market?

The answer as it appears, is Apple at this time has no plans to enter that market, citing reasons such as small screens and cramped keyboards. That said, Apple is still reportedly looking at the space. Cook did suggest that if Apple does find a way to deliver an innovative product that makes a real contribution, Apple will pursue it.

See these are the same reasons Apple had against the netbook in the first place, and so that’s why the MacBook Air it designed the way it is. Light weight, but no compromise elsewhere.
