Interesting, but I don't really see how the cross over would be accomplished.

Because you can't be suggesting that Apple, having (from their perspective) found the way to completely bypass the fundamentally crap concept that netbooks represent, now bend over backwards to enter a useless niche market their own iPad is in the process of completely killing off???

This sums up my thoughts.

You sound like some of the marketing people I work with. Buzzword bingo

But you can't deny that the iPhone has not used it's influence to sell more Macs. Do you ever see Windows iTunes peddling the fact that iPhoto, iCal and iMovie would double their pleasure? PC iPhone users are getting a second rate experience without knowing they what they could get with a Mac.
Advertisers are to blame.
If suddenly their already purchased games ran in a Mac or AppleTV, they would seriously consider investing on that $500 OSX tax.

But these are apps that are meant for touch screens, Godfather. How do you propose that they be translated to non-touch screen environments?

well, they *do* run on their iPads, and Apple is marketing that fact ("200,000+ apps!"), and lots of people are prepared to pay that tax.
The additional benefit that you don't seem to get is that they're NOT getting a netbook.
A machine with all the drawbacks of a desktop's complexity combined with all the drawbacks of under-budgeted, underpowered hardware is, um, wow! - exactly Apple's market! You may be on to something!
(or, Apple is already doing exactly what you're suggesting, except for a market that won't be dying out within the next three years. Face it: nobody wants a netbook. Really. No, the slashdotters are as wrong as they were about the iPod.)
