Here is an interesting story I found this afternoon:

It's a steal for the laptop itself, but I'm not quite sure about the mobile-broadband service.Acer, AT&T and RadioShack have teamed up to offer a deal that brings the Acer Aspire netbook to market for only $99. Netbooks are mobile computing devices with a screen size of five to 10 inches that run a full version of a client operating system, such as Windows XP or Linux.
The Acer Aspire, with integrated 3G wireless technology, usually sells for $500. AT&T is subsidizing the cost of the device, but customers have to sign up for a two-year AT&T DataConnect mobile-broadband service agreement. Plans start at $60 a month.
The problem is that in two years, you would have spent more on just the internet ($1440 at the very cheapest) then you would if you had bought almost three Acer Aspires!
