I do an unusual thing with my Dell Latitude. I hold it up like a book, more or less, and read it while lying on a couch or bed. I am very near-sighted, so I can hold it closer to my face than normal-visioned folk could do. I do this also with my N800, of course.

If I had a Netbook I would do the same, only it would be lighter and easier to hold. But the screen would be bigger than my N800. Now that I'm not carrying my N800 around with me much (I use my Centro for away-from home Net access anywhere) the reason for it to be pocketable has vanished. So I'm open to something lighter than a laptop but bigger than something that fits in my pocket.

I don't think the eee is the best Netbook out there now. I like the Acer Aspire One, or what I've been reading about it. Then there is whatever Dell is putting together -- I'll follow that with interest.
