I'm thinking seriously of getting a netbook. (A netbook is a mini-mini laptop. The first famous was the Eee PC (sp?) which was ~£200, easy to use, had flash memory (?) and a reliable linux distribution (?))

Either whatever the best one I can for £200, or a more up-to-date one if I'm convinced I need it. I'm not sure exactly how I'd use it, but I think for grabbing when I know I'm going to be out, commuting or travelling all day and want to spod/hack.

Does anyone have any good advice? (Either for which one to get, or whether to get one at all, as opposed to a large mobile phone or a small laptop?)
