| It all depends on the monthly price No one's going to pay $60/month (current cellular data price) for a $399 netbook.
$30/month (even over 2 years) would be very attractive, however.
Especially if you could also use the netbook as a Wi-Fi access point for your other computers/Tivo/etc. |

Even if they're not locked they will have very little expandability, probably USB 2 and maybe ethernet. |

They could buy the $399 netbook and then pay $60/month w/ a 2-year contract or they can buy the netbook with the internet built in and pay $60/month with a 2-year contract and get it for $100 or maybe even free. If you are going to get both anyways, why not?
