Forget, for a moment, about whether this is the end of the PC industry or not (I would bet on not...). What I find intriguing about this article is the mention of AT&T giving away cheap netbooks to wireless subscribers. What I find even more intriguing is that, even with 4 desktops and 2 laptops on my desk (don't ask), I'm really tempted by that offer. Maybe not the next generation of standards (LTE and 802.11n), but the generation after that will, I believe, mark the end of the distinction between local wireless and long-range wireless. That devices like iPhones and Netbooks should appear as an consequence (or even in anticipation) is not so surprising, then.
