I think that what the folks over at Entourage are putting forward as the next generation of netbook style devices is representative of a step in the right direction towards getting the buy in of the innovators and early adapters (such as myself). As someone who comes from a strong IT background. I am always looking for a portable device that can easily handle the host of PDF references and white papers that I am either reading or keeping for reference, my generally extensive list of books that I am reading, and be able to use it in place of a laptop or netbook for web research, document creation, note taking, and whatever else I can get it to do to help me get the job done day in and day out.
