Let's get one thing straight. The Sony TT, and TZ before it, were not the fastest machines in the world but comparing them to a netbook, ion or not, is ridiculous.





1. The TT has an optical drive. Not essential these days (and i wouldn't be surprised if Sony did drop it for some sort of TT lite) but still a useful feature. I, for one, would rather have one than not.





2. The screen of the TT utterly blows away any netbook in terms of quality.





3. The buld quality of the TT is pretty much unsurpassed.





4. With ION, a netbook will be able to play HD video but in every other area the performance will still be miles behind a TT. And I'm not just talking untapped, unneeded performance like you get on powerful gaming PCs that just sit there idle most of the time. I'm talking about a basic ability to multitask properly.





5. Connectivity of the TT far surpasses any netbook.





Essentially, netbooks in their current and future forms are certainly useful for many things but they will never replace a true ultra-portable. Sony just needs to tweak a few things here and there and lower the pricing slightly for its next version.
