We'd just finished a unified communications strategy meeting this morning when I saw the Google Chrome OS announcement on the BBC website. One of the things we'd been talking about was netbooks; our head of development said in the meeting he doubted he'd ever have another full size laptop. I had been sceptical about netbooks but I'm starting to see the benefits both personally and in a corporate world - I think a netbook that is fired up and connected within 10 seconds of opening it has all sorts of applications - a sort of big BlackBerry.
