I almost bought this, I should have gone ahead and done it.
I'm going back and forth between the idea of a netbook or an Android tablet. The ONLY thing I want it for is getting on the internet. The screen on my phone is just slightly too small to make it convenient, although I do like the interface.

I check every day. I will bump this thread when I see one again. It may be a while. They did have 2 separate models up which could mean there are more to follow.
I watched these sell out 3 times in a row thinking these netbooks were just more junk, until I realized the value and potential after doing research on them.

Woot.com has a 10.1" netbook for $179 today.. 3 hour battery life, but it has an extremely small form factor.

Check it... woot.com has several netbooks up today... I went on through and hand picked which one I'd go for....
The Gateway LT2104U has a 64 bit processor and longest battery life. This seems to be the best of the litter.
