Even though Apple has denied all Netbook rumors of all sorts, it still doesn't make us believe that Apple might not be planning to make one in the future.

Mac OS X, though not officially supported for any Netbook, has still been tested on many of the Netbook brands out there in the market and it seems like it has proven itself to be good enough to run on Netbooks just like any other Netbook-friendly OS such as Ubuntu and Windows XP.

But what really makes us reconsider Apple's statement of not having any plans for Netbooks in the future is the recent update for the OS i.e. Mac OS X 10.5.7 that was pushed to users almost a couple of days ago.

According to reports from all over the Internet, the recent OS update has significantly helped in improving the battery life of most Hackintosh Netbooks (especially on the MSI Wind) and we see no reason why Apple might do something like this even when it does not support or have a Netbook brand of its own.

Also, there seems to be no mention about this in the documentation for the new OS update.

Perhaps Apple is setting up the pitch to make a firm ground for a new product that runs on Mac OS X and is planning to launch it at the Worldwide Developers Conference next month. Could be anything like a Macbook 3G, Mac Netbook or Mac Tablet?

Any ideas?
