I signed up for a free license to the ThinkFree Mobile: Netbook Edition software last month. It required filling in an online questionnaire. Long a fan of ultra-portables and as a MacBook Air owner, netbook is something I follow closely, even though there's not one from Apple, yet. What made me motivated enough to fill a form, however, was that in addition to Windows and Linux, an edition for Mac will be available as well. MacBook Air with SSD is certainly the closest to a netbook Apple has, despite being many times pricier. The purpose is the same: to use as a secondary computer to do basic tasks--word processing, e-mailing, browsing, blogging, social networking, instant messaging, etc.--that can sync with your main computers at home and office. ThinkFree's software and cloud service should fill most of that bill nicely. I'm eager to try the Mac edition to see how it's different from its regular online suite.
