Other thoughts:

Those sub $200 "smartbooks" will be highly subsidize by the likes of Verizon & AT&T to $0 with data contracts.

Will be geared to SAS (Software as A Service). With the inherent advantages and disadvantages. (Think app store, without the store).

Could make wireless phone calls, i.e. replace a cellular phone. (I have no idea why netbooks with Gobi or smartbooks with Snapdragon don't already do this. I am tempted to start and open source project to do this myself.)
