Great extras would be an integrated trackball (touch screens are too expensive for what you get), SD card slot (so you have heaps of solid state storage) and GPS... maybe bluetooth for a Skype headset. I don't care about cellular access. <blockquote>if all you want to do is browse the Web, the latest netbooks shown here, built around cellphone chips, can display high-definition video and still last for up to 18 hours on a single charge. They should start appearing in stores this fall for less than $150 and weigh less than two pounds...</blockquote> NYT writes up the appearance of what I’m calling net-tablets at Computex.
