Verizon brings out a HP netbook

Well if you like a 10" netbook with an always on internet connection, this may be the way to go!

Engadget summarizes:
"Verizon's subsidized pricing of $199.99 (after the $50 mail-in rebate) with a two year activation on one of Verizon's Mobile Broadband plans works out to -- at a minimum -- $680 a year (Verizon offers a $39.99, 250MB per month plan, as well as a $59.99, 5GB per month plan). It's a bit pricey, but you still end up paying less than if you're buying the laptop outright and getting service separately.. Ultimately, this machine and -- its accompanying 3G card -- are likely going to be totally satisfactory for on-the-go, day to day tasks. People who are already accustomed to the netbook experience will no doubt find this to be a convenience over a USB dongle, though we'd personally prefer the flexibility of said stick. However, even if it doesn't exactly blow you away, you can't really find too much to gripe about here, and to be perfectly honest, we find ourselves growing more fond of the little guy by the hour."
