    Bah I've been wanting a netbook but I won't buy one until NVIDIA Ion versions start coming out.

    Needs a dual core processor, a little more ram, and more battery.

    I would get one with an atom 330 dualcore and 9400M chipset.
    Are there any interferences by Intel to sell atom with the ION platform??

    I might be able to get behind this but I'd have to see the full spec sheet.

    The specs look pretty similar to the Gateway LT3103u I just picked up, though I got a 6-cell battery that lasts me a good 5 hours (whole notebook cost me $20 less too). Since that celeron is based on the core architecture it should make for a very capable notebook/netbook though a 6 cell is pretty much a must.
