Apple hates netbooks? No problem. Entangled in a legal battle with Apple? No problem. This is the attitude of gutsy Psystar who vaguely confirms about a Mac OS X netbook that won’t be pencil drawn.

In an interview, Psystar’s CEO hinted that they will be launching a notebook “on the lines of a netbook” which I think says it all.

Apple’s recent comments indicate that they could launch a larger sized iPod Touch or iTablet but the want for a physical keyboard might compel a user to go for Psystar even if it’s against Apple’s policies.

For now, there are hackint0sh netbooks.

Sure, they are late by a few days but here it is. The 10.5.7 version is available now from the Software Update and brings in lots of fixes and other improvements.
