I'm considering one of these instead of a normal notebook or more conventional 
netbook. I realize it won't handle the same workload, but it seems that it 
might allow me to continue with current notebook hardware, and use this for 
email/web -- pretty much the original desingn intent of the original 
netbooks -- for a very small investment.

There were some interesting comments about it on the slashdot posting (2nd 
link below).

I'd be interested in opinions and input from the local linux community.
