Sooo... I am down to two choices: the Acer Aspire One 150L (8.9", 1GB Ram, 120GB HDD, Intel Atom 1.6) or the MSI Wind (10.2", 1GB Ram, 80GB HDD, Intel Atom 1.6).

The Acer is slightly cheaper, because it comes preinstalled with Linux -- the MSI will only be available with Windows in the beginning. The Acer has the smaller screen, but it's also lighter and I like its design better. On the other hand, the MSI is easier to upgrade (RAM is not soldered on the motherboard). Oh, and the MSI comes out one month later (the Acer is rumored to be released in a week or so in Germany).

Decisions, decisions, decisions... I hate them!
