Seeing as how I am reading the forum and writing this reply from my hotel room with wired internet on an "old" eeepc8G (7 in screen 800x480 display) and my n810 is sitting on my hotel dresser, I would have to say that netbooks *don't* suck.

My netbook has replaced my relatively light-weight work laptop for travel, but my n810, while I take it everywhere, has not replaced my netbook.

When a reasonably priced pocketable device can run openoffice and firefox at reasonable speeds and work well with a citrix client so that I can run my work apps remotely then maybe it can replace my netbook -- and I have what is now considered a rather low end netbook.

I am looking forward to the OpenPandora or a new maemo device to free me from my netbook on travel.
