That said I am told I will be offered one by my firm in January and I'll likely take it - especially if the handset is a third of the price of the Bold and Storm (same carrier here) as expected. I bought my 14 year old an Acer Aspire One and he loves it.

From the iphone to the lg vu, they have stumbled across many obstacles to get to where they are today. Gz to the companies I think phones have really come a long way in 2008.

I know no one who bought a netbook (except myself... though by some definitions my HP 2133 might not even quality as it cost more than $500). Similarly, I see lots of iPhones out in the wild every day. I can count the number of netbooks I have seen out at Starbucks or the airport on one hand (and have two fingers to spare).
