Available in October (just missing the ...
Asus Adds 3G to Eee PC
Wired: Gadget Lab —
... but a lot of people could be tempted by a free computer.
The only problem is the data plans. As part of my experiment to live without a cellphone (progress report - not going well), I have checked out the mobile internet options here in Spain.

jkOnTheRun —
... You can't really have a NETbook without connectivity to the Internet, right? I suppose you can, but it's not nearly as much fun or broad of an experience.
