Netbooks



What's new in the world of netbooks? If you've looked through the latest 
models, any stand-out offerings? Which model do you own and like, or 
have on your wishlist, and why?

Didn't Intel release a dual-core version of the Atom CPU? Shouldn't 
there be a new crop of netbooks using it by now?

I see Nokia has a model with a built-in 3G modem, but it seems to be 
tied to AT&T service.

I see Target has an Acer Aspire One on sale for $200 this week:

though the specs on that model look pretty much the same as netbooks of 
a year ago (which probably explains the price).
