I would think something like the G1 would make a far better pointing device than an iPhone, as it has a compass, and can actually tell what direction it's pointing in.
I'd consider buying one for the extended battery life as long as it's not too much slower. I generally only use a netbook for browsing, and occasionally remoting into home machines, but occasionally will run Eclipse or NetBeans. As it is, the big drawback is not the processor, but the vertical screen resolution that stops me from doing it more often.
That said, I work in software development, and I'm the only one I know that has a netbook. I've heard that in Europe, purchase rates are 8-10 times higher than here in North America. Why is that?
I was going to be funny and say "how the hell are we supposed to play games with a controller that only has one button", but extending what the Wii started, it could actually work.
The individual departments should be required to use open formats where open formats exist. It's far past the time governments should be held hostage with proprietary formats.
Good network and general computer security applies regardless of political behaviour. Even if you completely agree with the past foreign policy, the actual security policy that seems to be applied in most cases is abysmal.
For live gigs, start locally... move up from there. As for radio, I'm not sure many would play your stuff, unless there was a decent local groundswell of support. How about Pandora, Last.fm, etc?
Not having read TFA, I'm assuming that he was actually kicked out of his residence for violating some sort of agreed upon terms of residence/bahaviour which he did admit to violating. If it's because he broke copyright law, there should be at least some sort of due process. The universities in North America have been amongst the few that have generally stood up to RIAA bullying tactics. Sounds like a different ball game in Australia.
I'm pretty sure they do pat-downs. Last one I saw done was a 50+ year old woman (who apparently had an artificial hip). They just don't do it to everyone.
There were (and still are) plenty of apps for the Palm devices, but ultimately its limitations did it in. In many ways it had fewer limitations that the current iPhone does as well. The iPhone has better marketing though.
I seem to remember seeing Dell Mini 9's with 3G modems as well. Can't you buy cheap 3G netbooks subsidized by a phone company if you get a multi-year plan in many places? Personally, I'm fine with Bluetooth tethering through my phone.
Frankly, I'm truly amazed that the invasion of personal freedoms in the UK and US have gone as far as they have as fast as they have. Monitoring personal communications for possible infringement of any law is frightening. What would people say if this was done on their phone lines?
We discussed this on Slashdot a few weeks ago. In the tradition of "Godwin's Law", falling back to the "write it yourself" defense when defending Linux was referred to as "Anonymous Coward's Law".

Natal runs a lot of processing on 'extra' hardware, possibly leaving most of all 3 cores. Sony can do the same if required.

I think he meant "open sores".
The problem is that he (and his friends) seem to make their wishes to governments, and accompany those wishes with large cheques.

on behalf of the Shelter Rock Jewish Center, I'd like to inform you that you'll be hearing from our lawyers.
I guess we'll need to format them in a purifying fire then.
