Wonder how Disney plans to leverage to deliver(sell) content? Maybe it's just to try to get more of the kiddies on their websites.

My 5 year old daughter loves playing on my PC, and she loves playing on my netbook (was an Eeepc, now a Dell Mini 9). So a Disney branded netbook is a great idea. I do worry, however, about the “dumbed down” interface. It's cute and all, but am I limiting my daughter's potential by making her live with a kid-friendly interface like that instead of the real deal?

I wonder what took them so long. This was inevitable. You just know these will fly off the shelves. How about a Pixar netbook?

Torn. For a child maybe a small keyboard and screen might be a good match. It would be light, inexpensive, and a good size for small fingers. But in all likelihood you could get a non-Disney Asus of the same size and specs much cheaper…that how it always works with Disney branded products from toasters to extremely flammable pajamas. If it has Disney logos on it its will cost you 20% more yet be 20% worse in some way.

If that is not the case I be pleased, gob-smacked surprised, but pleased. Also, if they really want to sell them they need a to be better then “Princess Pink” or “Magic Blue”. How how about “High School Musical Sharpay Red” or “Hanna Montana Thong Purple”
