MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
This model was discussed a short while ago. IIRC the consensus is that its not very good. If you could spend the extra cash the [url= http://www.ebuyer.com/product/145008 ]HP Compaq Mininote from Ebuyer[/url] is very good value for £190.
The Samsung NC10 is the best of the netbooks at the mo, but you would be looking at £300.

or the acer aspire one is much better for 179 - amazon etc...
Only for browsing net, uploading pics of camera and emailing/messenger
looks like a pikey laptop IMO
it specifically says no external hard-drives - would that rule out connecting an Ipod (data transfer mode not itunes). Could a broadband dongle be used out and about?

It will run a flavour of linux. With a bit of hacking around, you could probably get it to talk to the ipod and run a broadband dongle, but it may be a bit of a faff.
EDIT - there is a link to a 3G dongle driver on the site, so that should be OK.
The problem you will have with the ipod is capacity. Its only got a 2gig drive and it looks as though you can only use up to a 4gig usb or memory card.
So - email and web browsing good
Photos - mmmm maybe OK, but severe capacity limitation issues
iPod - forget it.
Get the HP from Ebuyer instead its a bargain - and you could always bung a hooky copy of XP on it - if you knew who to asked for a copy 😉
