The term "Netbook" is a Psion owned trademark. This term was first introduced by Psion whith their product Psion's Netbook Pro. Over the last 1-2 years the netbook market started evolving hugely and Psion kept warning about the trademarked term.
Now Google has banned the term "netbook" from being used in its adsense ads. this term has become a generic term for small laptops and notebooks and most manufacturers use this term. What will we call the small laptops from now on, if this term is killed? Some new term to this category of modern laptops needs to be coined.
The only way out is, if Psion sells this trademark which is not impossible considering the unsuccessful and unpopular products from them.
