Looks cute! I wonder how good the typing is on it.
i had one of the early 'netbooks', a 10in model. slightly shrunken keyboard to fit the form factor. it sucked for typing.
probably better off with a tablet and one of those cases with integrated stand and bluetooth keyboard. and you wouldn't need a bottom-of-the-barrel model, either, to keep with a $300 price point for everything.
Eh, I think it depends on personal preference. I had an ASUS eee pc, second gen device I think and if I remember correctly it was a 10 inch one. I had no issues typing on it. In fact I wrote my thesis on it, in LaTEX, 100 pages. No problem, I liked it.
I've never had a keyboard on a device under 13" that I could type comfortably on. You could have the best actuation and key travel in the world, but it doesn't make up for the keys being smaller than The minimum spacing on my fingers.
