My netbook is for everything else.

Why pay 500 bucks when they only thing it has that the iPhone doesn't is iBooks (at least what I care about).
So it sounds like you have a desktop AND a laptop AND a netbook. What do they say about assumptions??

You can wait as long as you want, I could care less but I don't think the price will actually go down. The only device that has really ever gone down in price is the iPhone. You will certainly get more features and more memory for the same price, but I don't expect it to go below the $500 mark.

I meant a USB modem but you are right, netbooks typically have built in sim cards, I shoudl have said laptops. But I believe almost all netbooks also require a contract for access but could be wrong.

Wait until Android 2.2 and Flash 10.1 comes out before you say it won't work. You don't know that until you see it.
Personally, I'm not one to base facts on what might happen. It's not wrong advice until 2.2 and 10.1 are out, and then it needs to be shown on those devices. Until then it's right advice. Why do you think it took years to get on Android if it's so great, doesn't eat up battery life, and utilizes hover over just like your normal computer does?
