netbooks are dying, they are moved to normal notebooks segment (at least in terms of price). It was a good move to market but now game are changing again. The same story was on handset market before.

So netbooks take some market share, but wont be dominante power on it.

Corporate market is so small. You are kidding me. Story behind Eseries (first 2 year) wasnt successfull, the same for BB devices (they have sales only for 1 year - in volumes). From the point when they make more mass market devices...
You're somewhat right about the netbooks, but on the other hand that wouldn't be the only product category. Maemo will be able to do both the basic phone tasks and the general purpose computing tasks, which will increase the user base and... HANG ON, why am I trying to explain this. I'll just quote the RX-51 first look article:

"The market will require vertical OS, which can be applied in cell phones, communicators, laptops and MID devices, i.e. various device types with different architectures, performance levels and so on."
