Without seeing the touchpad in action on the screen and while someone is typing it's tough to see how well this actually works. Netbooks definitely need bigger touchpads but if something like this runs the risk of moving my cursor all over the screen while I'm typing I wouldn't be too interested. But, if they can compensate for my palm touching while I type and not move the cursor then this could be really cool.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
