I also was holding out for an ARM-based netbook, because they were supposed
to be out in July en mass.  That never really happened, the Always
Innovating one is the only one I've seen that you can (kind of) buy right
now.  But I was also not that happy with the only 128MB of RAM.

Oh and on the "good antenna" question.  It's not the antenna so much as the
wireless card.  When I was at PyCon I could never get a reliable connection
from my Eee (except before all the attendees arrived).  Apparently, a
common upgrade is to put an Intel wireless card in there, which provides
much better network performance, but also draws more power.

Just FYI.
