The 9inch that I had might be the sweet spot for me. Although it was the keyboard that killed it for me, slightly small and the tilde key was removed an all the numbers pushed left as a consequence. Could never really get used to it.

If they could somehow get a bit more key space on the 9inch that would be good but otherwise I'd probably need a 10inch. That said very happy with the mobility vs size tradeoff that my 13inch bmp has.

My biggest complaint is that no one is designing a netbook with TrackPoint rather than a trackpad. (Lenovo doesn't count, b/c their netbook offerings have been horrid.)
If they could even design a model with a bigger keyboard and a screen that took up less than the available space to keep the price low, they might get fat fingered people like myself to consider one.

I don't necessarily mind the small screen, but the keyboard size keeps me from seriously considering a netbook.
