You got to love all the labels that are being put on all kinds of devices to increase sales and get more traction in various markets. It seems the netbook market is getting its own labels as well. First, we heard about kid-friendly netbooks. And now business netbooks have excited netbook fans again. But aren’t netbooks supposed to be business gadgets in the first place? Things are not as simple as it seems when it comes to the business world. Business users need portability, business software, and … to get the most out of their device while conducting business. The regular netbook lines do not come with the software package needed to address the needs of corporate IT, which is why netbook manufacturers are coming up with bundles that are customized for business individuals.

The good news about business netbooks is the fact that companies will be more open to adopting them than they were in iPhone’s case. Even regular netbooks provide portability and performance that business individuals need on the go. And the business software bundles make it easier for corporate folks to work with files, develop presentations, and share and collaborate with their colleagues. The business netbook niche is certainly an interesting one to consider but will it catch fire? We will have to wait and see.

Business netbooks to consider:

• HP 2140 Mini-Note
