An the winner is me..
It's just my opinion, not my law.
Wow. I am surprised that so many people are basically asking for a cheap laptop with great battery life. As a consumer I can say that I would love to have a netbook that is as cheap as an iPhone 3G ($99 is a good price point, new not refurbished).

From all the specs that most people are posting, only a few are staying within the real of what a netbook should be. Long battery life, portable (light weight). Everything else that sounds like it should be on $1000 notebook, will be just that.

I can understand wanting BT, Draft N (now final), 1080p (720p is actually just fine for most people), extreme capacity 500gb (160 or the similar can do just fine now, in the end it is a netbook), hell even the HDMI output isn't that important.

So to make it clear, stop wanting so much out of something so little, get a laptop if you want all of the latest and greatest.

With that being said, I would like to have a decent processor (something that will allow me to watch 480i video, maybe 720p), if it is to include a graphics card let it compensate and aid the video processing (again nothing insane, just usable), a decent capacity drive (I can sync most of my files via services like soonr, dropbox, etc...), utilize both (my only true desire) flash memory and harddrive (msi, why did you cave to M$ - this would not only reduce wasted space but also speed up loading), a decent battery life (as it stands 6hrs is good, but anything higher is always a bonus which will also mean more cash). And in the end keep it under the cost of a new 32gb iPhone ($300).

Everything else is fine as it stands right now, the screen size, the keyboard (some more than others), the external accessories. I don't think they need to replace our notebooks, just play nice with them.
Oh how nice would this be.
Hey so now that I get this what do I do...
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a wireless trackpad to use with my older (2.5 or so years old) C2D MacBook that's perpetually docked to my home theater. Something sleek, thin, not too small, made of high quality materials. Ideally, it would natively support all of (Snow) Leopard's multitouch inputs, and even more ideally, it would have a charging dock / base. The only problem is that I'm not sure that such a thing even exists. Think you can throw me a bone?"
