Depends on the reviews.

If I can use it as a travel computer/web browser, and I can get a small travel keyboard to go with it, and depending on the reviews maybe. I keep realizing I need to replace my 2006 17" laptop with something a little more travel friendly and newer.

Waiting for the real life reviews to hit to see. If not I am expecting to get a netbook this winter

Netbooks are the shit. I have a nice Toshiba I got for about $280. I think it's cheaper now becuase whenever I buy something it prices drop 3 weeks later and go on sale the following week.

Looks interesting. If you can read a book in sunlight then I'd be interested. If it glares and crap then I'd have no interest in it.
