Get one anyway :-)

Was thinking to get a N97 or a eReader "Lizard" to read e-materials,
and maybe a netbook when window OS settle down further.  But N97 or
eReader are at "hype" price now.  Then I came across a netbook with
touch screen feature, flippable 10.2" LCD, the Gigabyte T1028.  So it
is low cost tablet PC, about S$879.00 (<US$500).  Now I am using as a
video-skype station with relatives, e-reference station for myself and
kids, a e-book reader, netbook, field-machine - and lately replacing
more and more activities I doing on normal laptop.

Stylus making processing gmail and other activities very efficient.
Battery life is much better than laptop.  It is 12V powered, so I hook
up a 12V 9AH SLB for super-long field trip.

Cheers, Ling SM
