My CR-48 is still my couch computer, although its outdated CPU doesn't do full-screen movies well. For typical browsing, emailing, looking stuff up during a commercial, or whatever, I still like it more than a tablet. I would prefer that it could do video better, or alternatively, that my Revue wasn't so hampered by content companies' fear of it, but I don't think the netbook market is dead in the long term. Like people have said, its just a different market from your $500+ "real" laptops. That said, when I got my chromebook it came with 100 megs a month of Verizon 3G for 2 years. I haven't read anything about a similar deal with these Samsung ones.
