Rumors of an Apple Netbook release is buzzing all over the internet today, with sources from the Dow Jones Newswire apparently confirming the production of said netbook.

It’s claimed that before the end of the year Apple plans to release a netbook, perhaps even just in time for the Christmas rush (Apple is pretty smart about these things, so such a release time frame wouldn’t surprise me in the least). It’s also speculated that the netbook will include a touchscreen, with a display area ranging between nine and ten inches.

Of course, Apple hasn’t confirmed or denied the production at this point, but I for one will be keeping my fingers crossed on the netbook’s validity.
