I just took receipt of a Samsung NC10 – $0 upfront on a two year contract with Optus – monthly 2GB of 3G data for use with the built in HSPA modem. I’m actually typing on it on the train right now.
It meets most of my requirements, though I am still using Windows XP on it. I’ll be looking at installing dual boot on the weekend (though other factors may stop me doing that). Heh, just then it wanted to reboot to install an upgrade. Yay for Windows.
My biggest thing is battery life. I did get almost 6 hours the first charge (keeping use low) and I’m 4 hours into my second charge with an hours remaining (watching video, and keeping the screen fairly bright).
The 3G is a good thing too. It’s like having a big iPhone but more useful (ability to run arbitrary software including Flash is useful). I’ll be aadding to this blog more often now, too!
