Silly names like netbook are not perceived as silly for very long when it's officially released. People were up in arms about Powerbook and iBook suddenly becoming Macbook Pro and Macbook. People were pissed, they called it silly, they jeered and booed and hissed and whirred in their stupid little swivel chairs upset with Apple that they tarnished the name of the Mac laptop.
Now, they all sit there, whirring in their swivel chairs in Macrumors and Apple Insider going "I can't wait to get my quad core Macbook Pro!"
Netbook is not like HelloKittyFunkyHappySuperLaptop. It'll pass along and just be another name.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
