One of the most successful netbooks around is the Acer Aspire One. The Aspire One is a rather surprise hit for Acer, and probably has something to do with the aggressive pricing policies of the company, and the fact that you actually get a very sturdy and decent netbook for the money. Acer formally took the wraps off the Aspire One's successor, the 10" variant.

I think they're already here in Australia? I've seen one with a 160gig HDD. Why anyone needs that much space on a netbook is anyone's guess.
I think Acer is discontinuing the Linpus Aspire Ones. Everyone seems to want an obsolete proprietary operating system on netbooks these days, god knows why.

Whatever it costs, I know we'll get screwed here in Australia. Instead of axing the old model, shops will keep the old models the have in stock (and they'll have a lot, they haven't been selling well since they're a lot more expensive than their US counterparts). They'll keep the old ones at the same price and sell the new ones even higher.
It's like every company in the world is into anal, and Australia is the ass of the world...
