I don't get why no one offers what everyone actually wants, an afordable 10" netbook with ION/HDMI.
All I read was Gateway and netbook, and nothing else, but I'm taking a guess here.

10.2", 3 or 6 cell battery, 1.6ghz Atom processor, Wifi, Webcam, 802.11g or n, 1gb RAM, and Intel 950 graphics subsystem.

Thanks Gateway, you really filled a niche that wasn't being filled in identically by 100 or so other companies.
There's little to no reason to have 3.5" or 5.25" drives SSDs when they can fit in a smaller form factor.

With a 2.5" laptop drive, you can use it in a laptop or desktop. And if you only have 3.5" or 5.25" bays, simply get a bay adapter, they're super cheap and were a dime a dozen when the transition from 5.25" to 3.5" drives were happening.

If you make it 3.5" or bigger, you're unnecessarily limiting the market that you can sell too.
Yes, I do. Atom based ION platform can decode 1080p video with XBMC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv1Q_DWieAQ. I'm willing to pay up to $50-$100 premium for ION since it means I won't have to carry around a Popcorn Hour with me. HDMI is also output nice if you want to quickly throw up a other content/youtube/etc.. on somone's HDMI capable television.
Same old, same old. Waiting for ION here too, the real question to ask to see if netbooks have progressed is , "Is there any compelling reason to replace my existing netbook with another one?".
This better have an HDMI port or this netbook is worse than a 1,000 Hitlers.
I'd rather see the Raphael first
Ability to listen to FM through the Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Crap, wrong URL, here's the correct one:

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
