It's been discussed before, but I say again, that I believe that "netbooks" are definitely competitors against the NIT for a sizeable percentage of current NIT owners, including myself, and the 3 other people I convinced to buy one.

I would call my category: portable internet-enabled computer costing less than $300. Portable is, of course, in the eye of the beholder, but sub 3lbs does it for me. The ability to hold it in one hand, or it being my/a portable media player, was not a factor.

My N800 is a great device, and I have no regrets buying it, but if I was given the same $300 choice a year a so ago, $300 netbook vs. N800, the netbook would have been purchased.

MHO.
